Shell campanulate or subconical, with two sharp strictures. Length of the three joints = 1:3:4, 

 breadth = 1:4:5. Cephalis subspherical, with a conical horn of the same length. Thorax sub- 

 conical, in the lower third with three small, conical, little curved wings, shorter than the cephalis.

 in size from the collar towards the mouth.

4. Pterocorys columba, n. sp. (PI. 71, fig. 2). 



Shell subovate, with two deep strictures. Length of the three joints = 2:5:4, breadth = 3:7:7. 

 Cephalis hemispherical, with a curved conical horn of the same length. Thorax inflate, in the 

 middle zone with three pyramidal downwardly divergent wings of nearly the same length. 

 Abdomen short, inflate, little constricted towards the wide, truncate mouth. Pores all nearly 

 equal, subregular, circular. 



Dimensions. Length of the three joints, a 0'02, b 0'05, c 0'04 ; breadth, a 0'03, b 0'07, c 0'07.

 ? Pterocanium bibrachiatum, Stohr, 1880, Palseontogr., vol. xxvi. p. 106, Taf. iv. fig. 14. 



Shell subovate, with two distinct strictures. Length of the three joints = 2 : 6 : 5 

 breadth = 3 : 9 : 10. Cephalis subspherical, with a conical horn of the same length. Thorax 

 hemispherical, thick-walled, rough, with three stout triangular wings, which are about as long as 

 the shell, and curved downwards, with upper convexity. Abdomen ovate, cylindrical, with wide, 

 truncate mouth. Pores irregular, roundish, large and small intermingled ; at the base of the 

 abdomen (below the lumbar girdle) a circle of somewhat oblong, quadrangular pores. 



Dimensions. Length of the three joints, a 0"02, b 0'06, c 0'05 ; breadth, a 0'03, b 0'09, c 01. 



Habitat. Fossil in Tertiary rocks of Sicily, Grotte (Stohr) ; Caltanisetta (Haeckel). 



6. Pterocorys aquila, n. sp. (PI. 71, fig. 5). 



Shell ovate, with two deep strictures. Length of the three joints = 1:4:4, breadth = 1:8:6. 

 Cephalis hemispherical, with a slender curved horn of three times the length. Thorax hemi- 

 spherical, campanulate, spiny, prolonged above the lumbar girdle into three stout, three-sided prismatic
