Specimens from Kymoiit Key appear quite distinct from specimen- 

 of Jlirl'xtii from the -ainc locality, haviny tlic carapax broader and 

 much more convex, the teeth of the antero-lateral margin less promi-

 different; but specimen- !' // //*.,-///, in the Soe'u ty's collccli ..... from

 more swollen on the (lank-, \\itli the postero-marginal outlines 

 decidedly COUVCX, when -ecu from above. Its aiitero-mai -inal teth 

 are relatively la rye and more prominent than in the related forms. 

 The coalesced first and second teeth are not very nneipial ; the first 

 i> -mailer, short, acute, triangular; the second, which is separated 

 half way to base by a broad, regularly curved notch, is rather larger 

 and broader, concave in front and convex posteriorly. On the left 

 side these teeth are much more unequal, apparently due to some 

 injury to the first. The notch between the second and third is 

 narrow at bottom. The third tooth i- '--penally la rye, wide, and 

 broadly rounded, or arcuate outwardly; the fourth and fifth teeth 

 have acute tips, directed obliquely outward and upward ; the 

 fourth has the anterior edge subtrnncate and but little inclined 

 forward, with the posterior edye arcuate ; the fifth is a little shorter 

 and narrower, thickened and triquetral at base, with a sharp tip
