Pecten

Both species bear the longitudinal groove in the centre, and when broken across, are found to contain numerous smaller shells, -- Terebratulæ of both the smooth and sulcated kinds, and a species of minute smooth Pecten resembling the _Pecten demissus_, but smaller.

Large “sea scallops” (species of Pecten and Placopecten) are dredged from deep, cold waters year-round on trips that may last weeks, while smaller “bay” and “calico” scallops (Argopecten) are either dredged or hand-gathered by divers closer to shore during a defined season.

Pecten: a comb: in Hymenoptera, rigid, incurred setae on the basal parts of maxilla and labium: the rows of spines on the feet of pollen-gathering bees: any series of bristles arranged like a comb: in mosquito larvae the comb-like teeth on the breathing tube.

Various shells come in handily also; amongst those may be mentioned the common razor shells (Solen ensis and siliqua), several of the Venus shells, the common limpets, the chitons, several of the trochi, and last, but not least, the shells of the speckled scallop (Pecten varius).

Let us place side by side the eye of a vertebrate and that of a mollusc such as the common Pecten.

Evolution créatrice. English Henri Bergson 1900

Now, the origin of molluscs may be a debated question, but, whatever opinion we hold, all are agreed that molluscs and vertebrates separated from their common parent-stem long before the appearance of an eye so complex as that of the Pecten.

Evolution créatrice. English Henri Bergson 1900

Quite different, therefore, are the evolutionary processes which lead, in man and in the Pecten, to the development of a like retina.
