Some well-preserved fragments of 3 dill"erent rostra belong with 

 certainty to this species. — On the imderside of the apex there is a 

 Avell-marked furrow, which however soon becomes feebler and dis- 

 appears 1'5 — 2 cm before the point of the rostrum, merging here 

 gradually into the flattened underside of the rostrum; in the alveolar 

 region the flattening disappears. Further, the hindmost part of the 

 rostrum is greatly compressed, so that the section here is rounded- 

 rectangular; in the alveolar region the section is more roimded- 

 trapezoidal. The apical line lies very excentrically, especially in the 

 posterior part of the rostrum. 



The largest fragment (posterior part of rostrum) is 55 mm long 

 and shows al its front end no trace as yet of the alveolus; the 

 dorsoventral diameter is here 15"5 mm, the transAersal 15 mm; at a 

 distance of 29 mm from the point of the rostrum the same dimen- 

 sions are respectively 13"5 and 13 mm. In a second specimen the 

 measurements at a distance of 38 mm from the point of the rostrum 

 are respectively 16 and 14'5 mm. 



A loose-lying cast of an alveolus is present from the same locality 

 as the above fragments of rostra; its dorsoventral angle is ca. 24^, the 

 transversal ca. 22°. This perhaps also belongs to B. Panderianus.

A fairly complete rostrum seems to belong to this species, as it 

 agrees quite well with Pavlow's description. The extreme point with 

 a part of the alveolar region is wanting.
