50 CRETACEOUS LAMELLTBRANCHTA. 



which are more or less imperfect, but after an examination of specimens of 

 L. subaequilateralis from Le Mans in the Museum of Paleontology at Paris I am 

 inclined to refer them to that species. In the specimens from Le Mans the 

 number of ribs is sometimes greater than is shown in D'Orbigny's figure, also the 

 ears may be less sharply separated from the valve, and in one case the hinge-line 

 was seen to be relatively longer. 



Types. — From the Cenomanian of Le Mans. The specimens here figured are 

 in the British Musenm. 



Distribution. — Upper Greensand (zone of Pecten asper) of Warminster.
