This species, rare in the Helderbergian (New Scotland beds) from 

 which it was described, but more frequent in the calcareous Oriskany fauna 

 of southeastern New York, is well marked by its highly convex, well seg- 

 mented pygidium. There is nothing in the structure of the parts before us 

 that suggests any similarity to species of the genus from the transatlantic 

 strata. The parts are wholly without ornament, in which respect the speci- 

 mens are in harmony with other American species and in measurable con- 

 trast to the more prevalent spinous forms of the Coblentzian of Europe and 

 the Bokkeveld beds of South Africa. The pygidium is narrow, relatively 

 slender, with abruptly sloping sides and sharply segmented in the same 

 degree as the pygidium of H. vanuxemi in the Dalmanites dentatus 

 beds of Port Jervis, New York ( Oriskany). The head also possesses the 

 rather broad anterior border which characterizes H. vanuxemi. We 

 have had occasion previously to observe that sharp segmentation of either 

 pygidium or head is an index in this genus of early age ; that in later 

 Devonic forms this segmentation is obscured at maturity though it may be 

 apparent in young stages.

This species is represented by a glabella and several pygidia. The 

 former shows it to be a normal member of the genus with full coalescence 

 of the glabellar lobes and highly pustulose surface. The pygidia have the 

 pleurae divided as in other early species of the genus. Such typical and 

 normai Phacopes are extremely rare in Siluric faunas. We have previously
