 the dorsal apical edge beset with teeth (PI. LVII. f. 2), a left, narrow process, 

 near the base of which stand some more teeth corresponding to the left lobe of the 

 preceding species, the dentition (juite variable in detail ; a short tooth projecting 

 dextro-laterad corresponds to the right-side process of deptuseti.
