«PECTEN striatus.
TAB. CCCXClV.— figs. 2, 3 and 4. SPEC. CHAR. Oval, convex; valves nearly equal; with numerous smooth or scaly ridges; within plain; margin entire; ears unequal, rather large.
THE width is five sixths of the length; the ridges are irregular, but nearly equal. In some specimens they have rather distant obtuse crenulations, or scales upon them; in others they are wholly smooth, perhaps from wear: the shell is rather thick and shews within it but slight signs of the ridges. Found in the Crag at Holywells, by Mrs. Cobbold, and at Woodbridge by the Rev. Mr. Leathes: the specimens with scales upon the ridges, differ in no other respect from the smooth ones, and both are found of various sizes; it is possible the latter may have been worn before they were changed into Crag.» JAMES DE CARLE SOWERBY, 1923
