Buckler semicircular, posterior angles obtuse j front rounded ; glabella lobed, the divisions 

 angular, separated by narrow sharp grooves ; eyes small ; caudal shield short, with few arti- 

 culations ; surface? 



The only specimen of this species which has fallen imder my observation is the small one 

 figured, and in this the surface is partially crushed and the markings obliterated. The di-visions 

 of the glabella correspond with P. downiiigiec, but the front of the buckler is more rounded 

 and the caudal shield shorter. It is possible, however, that larger and better preserved speci- 

 mens may show a more intimate relation between the two.

 the characters are distinctly represented as seen under the magnifier. 



Position and locality. In the upper green shale of the Clinton group, associated with 

 Jllrypa hcmispherica and Leptcena corrugata.

The discovery of the fragment figured on this plate was the first indication I had of the 

 existence of this genus in the upper silurian strata. The imperfect heads of two other individuals, 

 from the shale of the Niagara group, have since been obtained.
