Mantell obtained a fine specimen of a fan palm, Flabellaria Lamanonis, Brong., a plant first obtained from beds of corresponding age in the suburbs of Paris. The well-known building- stone of Binstead, near Ryde, a limestone with numerous hollows caused by Cyrenae which have disappeared and left the moulds of their shells, belongs to this subdivision of the Bembridge series.
Among other genera of the same class is a Flabellaria occurring near Lausanne, and a magnificent Phoenicites allied to the date palm. When these plants flourished the climate must have been much hotter than now.
