depressed convex, with a minute tubercle in the middle. The margin of 

 the head appears to be wide and somewhat concave. At each of the 

 anterior angles of the glabella there is a shallow depression. The dorsal 

 furrows are narrow and obscurely impressed. Pygidium strongly convex 

 in the central region, the marginal third becoming gradually flattened ; 

 margin not preserved ; axis narrow, conical, strongly convex, five strong 

 rounded rings, besides the terminal one, which is about one-third the 

 length of the whole axis and gradually declines backwards ; side lobes, 

 with the four anterior ribs well defined, and each divided into two by a 

 deep groove, which commences close to the axis ; at their outer extremi- 

 ties the ribs gradually die out ; there are indications of a fifth and ter- 

 minal pair of ribs. It is probable that the pygidium is bordered by a flat 

 smooth margin. 



Surface of the head and pygidium smooth. 



Length of the largest glabella seen 14 lines ; width at the neck 

 segment 11 lines ; width at the anterior margin 8 lines. 



This trilobite probably attains a length of 4 or 5 inches. 



The pygidium and head have not been seen in connection, but several 

 of each were found in the same piece of stone, and so associated, that I 

 have no doubt of their being rightly referred. 



This species is closely allied to D. magnifiers. It is dedicated to 

 T. Devine, Esq., of the Crown Land Department.
