(1- 



-3) Upper Grreonsaud, Haldon. 





Affinities. — L. rapa is closely related to L. divaricata (p. 44) but the valves 

 are less flattened and the anterior part slopes gradually to the margin ; the outline 

 is more regularly ovate, and the anterior and posterior ribs are much narrower 

 than the others. L. rapa is usually considerably larger than L. divaricata. 



Types. — From the Cenomanian of Coudrecieux and Le Mans. 



Remarks. — The presence of this species in English deposits appears to have 

 been recognised first by the late Mr. C. J. A. Meyer ; it was recorded by Mr. 

 Jukes-Browne in 1896. 



Distribution. — Upper Greensand of Haldon. Cenomanian (Meyer's Bed 10) of 

 Dunscombe.
