180 ANNALS OF SCOTTISH NATURAL HISTORY 



36. 6". cornigeium, n. sp. — Extremely rare. 



Small ; length and breadth equal ; semi-cells oval, diverging 

 widely from the isthmus, which is broad ; sides with one 

 simple or deeply cleft stout spine ; end with about six small 

 emarginate spines, and two rows of similar spines within the 

 margin ; end view triangular, with a stout spine at each 

 angle, and about four small emarginate spines on the margin 

 of the straight sides, and one row of similar spines within 

 the margin.

 1 1 fx ; length of spine, 9 \x (Plate IV. fig. 5). 



The nearest ally of this pretty species is St. Maamense, 

 Archer ; but the stout spines sufficiently distinguish it. Mr. 

 Archer sent it from Connemara many years ago.
