CLEMENTJA. 189 



of the postero-dorsal margin. In the type specimen that slope is small, so that 

 the outline of the shell -is distinctly oval. The position of the umbones also varies, 

 so that some specimens are more inequilateral than others. 



Specimens found in the Gault of Black Ven are usually somewhat crushed and 

 often larger than Blackdown examples ; some are more elongate and agree closely 

 with Venus sublsevis, Sowerby (see below). 



Type. — From Blackdown; in the British Museum. 



Distribution. — Upper Greensand (zone of Schloenbachia rostrata) of Blackdown 

 and (?) Devizes. Gault of Black Ven.

Remarks. — The only specimen which I have seen is the type. It differs from 

 G. (Cyclorisma) faba only in being more elongate, and seems to be merely an 

 individual variation. Venus immersa, Sowerby, 1 also known by the type only 

 (Plate XXIX, fig. 15), does not appear to differ from V. sublsevis. The types of 

 both are in the Bristol Museum and come from the Upper Greensand of Blackdown.
