Name.—In reference to the Malicites, a tribe of Acadian aborigines. 
Var. QUACOENSIS (Fig. 14 and 14a). 
This differs from P. eteminicus in several respects. 
Anterior margin.—The fold is only one-half wider at the extremity than in front of the 
glabella. 
The glabella is broader than that of P. eteminicus, and the fourth furrow is three-fifths 
from the front of the dome. 
Fixed cheek.—The ocular lobe is proportionately shorter than in any of the preceding 
forms. 
Sculpture—The anterior margin has finer and more waving raised lines, which at the 
end of the fold are about 15 in number. The raised lines on the glabella are more irregular 
in their course and are not so prominent as in the preceding forms ; there are about 54 or 6 
raised lines in the space of a millimetre, and they do not extend to the base of the dome, 
for around the base, for a width of from 2 to 31 millimetres, these raised lines are absent. 
The largest tubercules on the test are along the posterior margin of the occipital ring; the 
space immediately around the occipital spine has very small tubercules, whereas in P. 
etenrinicus the largest tubercules are on the corresponding space. The cheek is granulated and 
the central part is crossed by a number of low, flat, reticulating ridges that radiate from 
the glabella toward the occipital lobe.

Locality—Hanford Brook, near Quaco, in St. Martin’s Parish. Probably from Division 
ike: 
Var. PonTIFICALIS (Figs. 15 and 154). 
This differs from all the preceding, and may be distinguished by the following 
peculiarities :— _ 
Anterior margin —The flat area is nearly three times as long as it is wide; there is a 
thin sharp ridge, perhaps accidental, dividing off the front third from the rest. 
The glabella at the first furrow is proportionately much broader than the others, and 
the side arches of the second furrow almost meet. The fourth furrow is three-fifths pea 
the front of the dome. 
Sculpture—The raised lines on the front of the glabella are very distinct, and ‘there 
are from 3 to 4 in the space ‘of one millimetre. These on the anterior marginal fold are 
finer, and there are at least 15 of them toward the end of the fold. With the aid of a lens
