CSEIRURUS SATYRTJS. (N. sp.) 



Fig. 309. 



Description. Glabella extremely convex, so much elevated as to 

 become obliquely conical, gradually passing upwards into a stout spine, the 

 base of which occupies the whole of the second one-fourth of the length 

 from behind. On a vertical view the outline is oblong, the length 

 two-sevenths greater than the width, the sides gently convex and 

 sub-parallel, the anterior corners nearly right angles, the anterior 

 margin moderately convex, and apparently with a very narrow 

 rim. There are three pairs of glabellar furrows ; the posterior pair leaving 

 the dorsal furrows at rather more than one-third the whole length from the 

 posterior margin, and sloping upwards and backwards until their inner 

 extremities approach each other within one-third of the whole width ; the 

 other two pairs are situated in the anterior half, and are very short. 

 The neck furrow extends all across, and the neck segment appears to 

 have a small tubercle in the middle. 



Length 2i lines ; width If lines. 



Locality and Formation.^- Chazy limestone, Montreal.

. Remarks. Since the description of this species (ante, p. 284,) was 

 printed, a large number of specimens of the glabella have been collected 

 at Stanbridge. The form varies greatly. In some the outline is uni- 

 formly arched from the front margin to the neck furrow ; in others, the
