54 CRETACEOUS LAMBLLIBRANCHIA. 



more nearly equilateral than in L. granulata ; the height is also slightly greater 

 and the umbones rather more prominent ; the ribs appear to be narrower and to 

 have sharper summits. The smaller convexity of L. composita mentioned by 

 d'Orbigny does not seem to be constant. 



Remarks. — An examination of the type of Pecten compositus, Sowerby, shows 

 that it is an example of this species (see Vol. I, p. 188, footnote), and con- 

 sequently the specific name compos ita must take the place of cenomanensis. 



The French examples which I have seen are, on the average, larger than the 

 English. 



Types. — The type of L. cenomanensis came from the Cenomanian of Le Mans. 

 The type of Pecten compositus is in the Bristol Museum; it is labelled 

 " Blackdown " but is not siliceous and is more probably from Warminster. 



Distribution. — Upper Greensand (zone of Pecten asjper) of "Warminster. Rye 

 Hill Sand of Maiden Bradley. I have not seen the specimens recorded in the 

 Memoirs of the Geological Survey from the zones of Schlainbaclda varians and 

 Holaster suhglobosus of Hunstanton.
