﻿GEOLOGY AND PALEONTOLOGY OF THE CANAL ZONE. 115 



petalous fascicle is quite wide and. is fairly well shown in areas II 

 and IV on the type-specimen and still better in one of the fragments, 

 which is a counterpart of the dorsal side of the same. 



One of the specimens, which is an external mould, shows the im- 

 press of the outline of the plates of part of a test, and gives measure- 

 ments of considerable interest. It measures about 50 mm. in length, 

 about 45 mm. in width, and about 38 mm. in height. From incom- 

 pleteness of the specimen no exact measurements can be given, yet 

 those available indicate a very high test.
