318 PALEONTOLOGY OF NEW-YORK. 



175. 8. ATRYPA CUSPIDATA ( pag. 138, pi. 33*). 



This species, though differing from the original of Jl. extans, I am inclined to regard as 

 identical with it, the differences indicated depending partly upon the accidental condition 

 of the specimens. I have never been able to obtain perfect specimens, preserving the 

 characters oi Ji. extans represented in the single valves from which Mr. Conrad described 

 the species. 



127. 1. ECHINO-ENCRINITES ANATIFORMIS (pag. 89, pi. 29). 



Tlie structure cannot be entirely made out from the specimens in my possession. The 

 pelvic plates are four, two of them truncated above, and one or both the others are pen- 

 tagonal. A large part of the column is preserved in the specimens A a and 4 6. The 

 specimen 4 d is crushed, and the column flattened, and appears wider than its proper 

 proportion. In the specimen fig. 4 d' , the natural proportions are preserved. The lower part 

 of the column, which is very small, and composed of joints twice or thrice as long as wide, 

 is magnified in fig. 4 a+. This part of the column is not preserved in any of the specimens 

 except fig. 4 a. 



128. 2. ASTERIAS MATUTINA (pag. 91, pi. 29). 



Prof. Agassiz has shown me that this species, though having the form of an Jlsterias, 

 presents a generic difference, requiring another designation. 



This species, with several other species of asteroid-crinoids in the palaeozoic strata, will 

 constitute a distinct genus, whenever their characters shall have been sufficiently studied. 



313. 1. THALEOPS (ILLtENUS) OVATUS(p. 259). 



Pl. LXVII. Figs. G a,b,c (fig. 6 c added). 



Since this description was written, I have had an opportunity of examining a specimen 

 from the collection of Mr. W. H. Pease, which is more perfect in some respects than the 

 one previously described and figured. This individual is provided with a strong angular 

 spine, projecting from each posterior angle of the buckler, nearly at right angles to the 

 axis of the body. Spines of this character have sometimes been seen in the Trenton lime- 

 stone, and in the Blue limestone of Cincinnati. The specimen described is from the southern 

 part of Indiana, the precise locality unknown. 



354. 14. MODIOLOPSIS TERMINALIS (n. «;j.). 



Pl. XXXIir. Fig. 5. 

 Reference Modio/opsis (species undetermined), p. 297. 



Since the description and figure of this species were completed, I have obtained a very 

 perfect cast of the same, which is figured as above. The beaks appear to be terminal, or 

 extending quite as far as the anterior margin of the shell. The form of the shell is similar 

 to M. nasutus, but the position of the beaks readily distinguishes it from that species.
