26 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. I42 



the proximal end of the anterior poriferous zone of the anterior 

 paired petals is straight, not curved forward. This may be an in- 

 dividual variation, for the zone of the paratype (Kew's figure 2b) 

 appears to be straight. 



The distribution of the tubercles is similar to that of Lovenia 

 dumhlei but differs from that of Lovenia alabamensis Cooke (1959, 

 p. 77, pi. 32, figs. 14-17) from the Chickasawhay limestone of Ala- 

 bama in that its tubercles extend farther back. The shape of the 

 poriferous zones is like that of L. alabamensis.

This large swollen Eupatagus is represented in the collections from 

 Venezuela by one slightly crushed individual whose lower surface is 

 covered by hard matrix and whose upper surface is badly corroded. 

 It measures 64 mm. in length by about 53 mm. in width. 



The types of Eupatagus clevei (refigured here) and E. grandi- 

 florus (a synonym) were found in the Eocene of St. Bartholomew. 

 The species later came to light in Curagao, Jamaica, Panama, and 

 Florida.
