This report contains figures of the following fossils, which were after-

Report of a geological survey of Wisconsin, 



Iowa and Minnesota, and incidentally a portion of Ne- 

 braska Territory. Philadelphia, 1852, 638 pp., 27 pis., 

 16 sections and maps. 



Dr. Owen described four new genera of trilobites iiuder the names of 

 Dikelocephnlus, Lonchocephalus, Crepicephalus and Menocephahis. The 

 second genus is now classed as a synonym to Anomocure, v,ith Ano7nocarf' 

 chippeicaensin and A. hamulus described in the report. There is a third 

 species mentioned by Owen on p. 624, and also pi. la, tig. 15. Pj'gidium 

 of Lonchocephalus /, with long, slender, divergent caudal spines; also a 

 similar pygidium, figured pi. la, fig. 13, as Dikelocephalus ? iowensis. 

 AValcott, Bull. U. S. Geol. Sur., No. 10, p. .36, places the latter species 

 under a siibgenus to Ptychoparia, using Dr. Owen's Crepicephalus for it, 

 on account of the peculiar pygidium, overlooking, however, the fact that 

 Owen has referred a similar pygidium directly to his genus Lonchoceph- 

 alus on p. 624 of his report. Under the law of priority the genus Ptycho- 

 paria replaces Crepicephalus, and the latter name should be cancelled 

 in toto, and not be retained in a modified sense. Lonchocephalus forms an 

 exception to this rule, if we divide the genus into two sections, retaining 

 AnoTnocare for the two species described by Owen, and Lonchocephalus, in 

 a restricted sense, for " the pygidium with long, slender, divergent caudal 

 spines," including the Dikelocephalus ? ioweiisis Owen.
