4. Genus Clavaeblastus. 



General form of the body club-shaped, or elliptical. Am-

 except on the posterior side, where the deltoid piece supports 

 the anal opening which lies outside of the genital openings, 

 which are confluent and surround the central opening. Col- 

 umn round. Upper Silurian and Devonian. If more 

 material should be collected from the Devonian rocks, it 

 may bring to light characteristics as yet unknown, which may 

 necessitate the creation of a new genus for this form.
