This species -was founded on the caudal appendages of a species the cai^apace 

 of which has not yet been collated. Hence the species is unsatisfactory to deal 

 with. The original specimens figured by M'Coy, and referred by Salter to a new 

 species, are in the Cambridge University Museum ((7/925, M'Coy's fig. 7c; a/926, 

 fig. 7 d). The telson, 32 mm. long (longer than the original figure), is straight, 

 broadly ensiform, 6 mm. wide at its base. The stylets, 20 mm. long, are also 

 relatively broad and ensiform or like a sharp blade. They all seem to have once 

 been faintly fluted and ridged, or costulated. They were obtained from Leint- 

 wardine, where they occur in the Lower Ludlow Beds. 



Two similar specimens, collected by the late Mr. Lightbody in Upper-Ludlow 

 Beds, " above Ashley Moor," are in the Owens College Museum, Manchester. One 

 of the sets, however, has the stylets nearly as long as the style ; whether this was 

 due to variation of growth or to accident, we cannot now decide. The locality is 

 near Richard's Castle, not far from Ludlow. 



Oxford Mus. S is a short trifid appendage (not figured), with a style 23 mm. and 

 stylets 13 mm. long; the latter smooth and with a slightly raised rim at the 

 margin ; the former faintly fluted and pitted. 



PI. VI, fig. 3. Copied from ' Siluria,' and formerly referred to C. rohtista, 

 seems to be too large and too much curved for a stylet of the usual form of that 

 species ; but it may have belonged to C. longa (see page 43).
