 [N. Y. State Mus. Mem. 10, pt i, p. 73J and Weller has recently described 

 a Niagaran form of fully mature type, P. handwerki [Chicago Acad.

This is an addition to the peculiar group of early Devonic species of 

 which we recognize the following other members : P. brasiliensis 

 (Maecuni), P. anceps (Decewville), P. correlator, New York Oris- 

 kany and Gaspe sandstone. We have noted in what respects this group 

 departs from the structure presented by P . do w n i n g i a e , the exemplar 

 of the generic group Acaste= Phacopidella Reed. The material from this 

 locality has afforded but a single cephalon of small size with semicircular 

 outline, rotund but not protuberant glabella, in which all glabellar lobes are 

 extinct save that at the base which takes the form of a narrow and obscure 

 ring. The preservation here is without compression which in some of the 

 other species of the series serves to indicate the glabellar furrows. The 

 nuchal ring is elevated, the eyes relatively large, and the small cheeks are 

 apparently produced into short genal spines. The length of this specimen 

 is 4 mm and its full width 8 mm. 



No indications of other parts that can be referred to this species are 

 present.

There are two incomplete pygidia of rather small size in the material 

 and these have the segmentation and aspect of D . m i c r u r u s as it occurs 

 in the Helderbergian of New York. We know no other parts which can 

 be referred to the same species.
