HINNITES. 223 



Cretaceous and early Tertiary deposits. But until definite evidence of the inde- 

 pendent origin of the Tertiary species can be given it seems to me better to refer 

 the Lower Cretaceous species to Hinnites, since they agree so closely with the 

 typical species of that genus. 



Types. — The specimen referred to Hinnites Leymerii by Forbes is in the 

 Museum of the Geological Society (No. 2022). Pictet and Roux's types came from 

 the Aptian of the Perte du Rhone. 



Distribution. — Pema-bed and Fitton's Bed 13 of Atherfield. Hythe Beds of 

 Court-at-Street, Hythe.
