RAYMOND: NOTES ON THE ONTOGENY OF PARADOXIDES. 237 



mm. long, or IS iiiin. longer than the cranidiuuT of Dr. ^latthew's 

 specimen of P. regina. This, restored on the basis of the dimensions 

 of the wide form, would exceed both in width and length the P. regina; 

 but, unfortunately it appears to belong to the narrow type, and would 

 therfore cover considerably less area than that species.

Among the many cranidia which have been collected at the Hay- 

 ward quarry at Braintree there are a number which at the anterior 

 end differ markedly from Paradoxides hnrlani. Instead of having 

 a flattened rimless brim, they have an ele\ated striated marginal rim 

 separated from the glabella by a narrow furrow. Moreover, the out- 

 line of the margin of the anterior end of the cranidium, instead of 

 being a smooth curve as in P. harlani, is obtusely pointed, the two 

 segments of the rim being straight and meeting at an angle of about 

 150° in front of the axial line of the glabella. The glabella is convex, 

 semicircular in front, widest opposite the anterior ends of the palpe- 

 bral lobes. The dorsal furrows are strongly marked and come to- 

 gether in front of the glabella. No specimen so far seen shows any 

 traces of glabellar furrows No. 1, and No. 2 when present, are only 

 slightly impressed and do not show at all in most specimens. No. 3 

 are quite strong but usually do not meet at the centre, though in one 

 ^or two specimens they appear to. No. 4 extend across the glabella. 

 The occipital ring is wide and bears a small median tubercle. The 

 eyes are of medium size for the genus. The palpebral lobe does not 

 reach the occipital furrow behind, nor is it connected with the glabella 

 at the front. 



No free cheek has been seen which can be assigned with certainty to 

 this species. Free cheeks seem to be less common than any other 

 parts of trilobites at the Braintree locality. 



One specimen in the collection shows a part of a thorax still 

 connected with a cranidium, though the body is partially shoved 

 under the head. Eleven segments are present. The axial lobe is 

 about one third the total width, and the pleura are marked by wide 

 grooves which cross them diagonally, the grooves extending out to
