This is a very rare and peculiar species of which only five 

 specimens have yet been found. One was found in April and one 

 in May, 1898, one in May, 1902, and two in July, 1903. The 

 specimen sent for identification was still flexible when received

 slowness and does not readily become hard and brittle.
