structure with those which have been referred to the genus from the Lower 

 Siluric yet it is possible that differences may be found and Beushausen's 

 recognition of the validity of Cyrtodonta which has commonly been regarded 

 a synonym of Conrad's term Cypricardites, has been indorsed by Ulrich 

 [Pal. of Minn. 1897. 3 : 534] who has elaborately illustrated the Siluric 

 species. C y r t o d o n t a be y r i c h i in Germany occurs in the Spiriferen- 

 sandstein of the Hartz mountains at the Kahleberg.

Much more elongate than the preceding, retaining the pterineoid form, 

 narrow in front, widening' backward and with a broad anterior sinus. Himre 

 as in the other species.

This species, which we have already observed, is common at Grande 

 Greve and in the lower limestones of the St Alban division at Cape Rosier 

 cove, as well as occasional in the Oriskany of New York, from which it 

 was described, occurs here in characteristic specimens. 



Localities. On Moosehead lake, 7 miles north of Kineo and at Cun- 

 ningham's camp, 4 miles from Matagamon lake.

Shells elongate, depressed, convex and of considerable size; beak at 

 the anterior third, hinge short, anterior curvature relatively narrow, the 

 valves widening backward in a low very broad curve, umbonal ridge low but 

 clearly defined making a flat or depressed posterior slope and rather straight 

 posterior margin. Length about twice the hight ; actual length of a 

 full sized example 60 mm, hight 35 mm. Surface with concentric lines 

 only. 



Casts of interiors show sharp triangular umbonal tooth and socket, a 

 low posterior ridge and tooth, sharp muscle scars and pallial impressions. 



This species is hardly to be brought into comparison with any elsewhere 

 described in this work, those of Chapman Plantation and the Grande Greve
