228 Mr. S. I. Smith on a neio Genus and 



5. Archagaricon conglomeratum. 



Tubes large, uneven, cramped, and warty, irregularly en- 

 larged and occasionally much constricted, anastomosing, and 

 studded with cells of various sizes, sometimes so numerous 

 that the tubes are much obscured, the whole mass appearing 

 filled with them. 



Several specimens have occurred of this well-marked spe- 

 cies. The tubes are occasionally constricted to -~ inch in 

 diameter, and are sometimes enlarged to considerably more 

 than twice that size. They are of an irregular form.

 By Sidney I. Smith*. 



EviBACUS, gen. nov. 



Carapax very broad ; lateral border expanded, incision at 

 the cervical suture closed, and the margin behind it not in- 

 cised. Eostrum broader than long, very slightly bilobed. 

 Eyes situated midway between the rostrum and the outer 

 angle ; the orbits entire, slightly removed from the anterior 

 margin and connected with it only by a suture. Antennse 

 with the inner margins approximate.
