TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



The type specimen of this species is also in the National Museum, and 

 it is much closer to P. caurinus than the last species. It has twenty ribs and, 

 except that it is somewhat more convex, closely resembles P. cmtrimis in 

 every respect when of the same size. The latter, however, has not yet been 

 found in the succeeding Pliocene deposits, though present in the fauna of 

 Puget Sound. Conrad's figure is a mere caricature.

Miocene of the Empire beds (Astoria horizon) at Coos Bay, Oregon ; 

 Shumard and Dall. 



This species is large, compressed, with twenty-nine to thirty-one squarish 

 prominent ribs, and on the upper valve much wider interspaces crossed by fine 

 incremental lines. The ribs are sometimes longitudinally grooved towards the 

 base. Specimens are in the National Museum and measure in alt. 120, lat. 

 113, and diam. 27 mm. This fine species is very abundant in the locality 

 indicated. It is nearest to the Pliocene P. expanses Dall, in which the ribs are 

 dichotomous.

This species, which is wretchedly figured by Conrad, is represented by 

 the type in the National Museum. It has ten or eleven high, sharp spinulose 

 ribs alternated with an equal number of low, small imbricate riblets, the inter- 

 spaces sculptured "with elevated radial scabrous threads. The beak and ears 

 are defective, but the typical specimen is characteristic enough to show that it 

 is entirely distinct from the recent Pecten hcricciis Gould, with which it has 

 often been doubtfully united. 



P. catilliformis Conrad {op. cit., v., p. 329, pi. 9, fig. 83, 1856), which 

 resembles in the figure a flattened valve of P. Hecnnanni seen from within, 

 and P. nevadanus Q,o\w2.A {op. cit., p. 329, pi. 8, fig. yj^ were described from 

 drawings made by Professor W. P. Blake from internal or external casts in the
