W. Baldwin — Fossil M yriopods from the Coal-measures. 77 

 Genus Euphoberia, Meek & Worthen. 

 2. Euphoberia armigera, M. & W. (PI. V, Fig. 4.) 



The specimen (discovered by Mr. Parker) of which a figure is 

 given here (PI. V, Fig. 4) appears to be identical with Euphoberia 

 armigera of Meek & Worthen, and will be shortly presented to the 

 Manchester Museum. Both sides of the nodule are preserved and 

 reveal a lateral view of the Mj^riopod. 



The intaglio exposes a clearer view of the creature and has been 

 figured accordingly ; there are indications of thirteen or fourteen 

 dorsal segments, together with about nineteen ventral segments. The 

 thirteen dorsal segments measure 39-5 mm., and taper uniformly 

 towards the anterior end ; they are equal in length (8 mm. each) and 

 vary in breadth from 4 to 7*5 mm., being divided by a transverse 

 depression in the proportion of 2 to 1, the broader or anterior portion 

 showing indication of being spiniferous. The ventral plates, two to 

 each dorsal segment, ai'e somewhat blurred, average 1*5 mm. in 

 length, and are about four times as broad as long. Fragments of 

 about twenty-one legs are indifferently preserved. The body surface 

 is smooth to the naked eye, but under a strong lens appears slightly 

 granular. 



The creature is attached to a portion of a stem of Cordaites, the 

 whole being contained in a clay-ironstone nodule subovoid in shape, 

 70 mm. long by 60 mm. broad and 35 mm. thick. 



3. Euphoberia robusta, Baldwin, sp. nov. (PI. V, Figs. 8a, b.) 



This large Myriopod (Figs. 8a, b) is contained on the relief half of 

 a clay-ironstone nodule weighing about 1 lb. 10 oz. The creature is 

 seen to be coiled dorsally, and measures 59 - 5 mm. in length as it lies 

 on the stone, but would measure 68 mm. if extended. About seven- 

 teen segments are seen in front of the tail (?), but all somewhat 

 flattened. At the broadest portion the segments are 18 mm. wide 

 and at the narrowest 9 mm., whilst in length the segments vary from 

 3"6 to 2 mm. 



The first eight segments preserved (except the first, which is 

 broken) are of nearly uniform width, being 18 to 16 mm., with an 

 average length of 3*6 mm. ; after the eighth segment the Myriopod 

 gradually tapers, presenting a very fusiform appearance, the dimensions 

 being as below : —
