preserved well enough to show any of the organization of the 
animal, and further specimens may show that it has something 
more than a relationship with Miiller’s species. Our specimen 
differs from the former in the greater lateral width of the 
carapace, and the more tumid posterior extremity. A. affinis 
differs from A. eburnea, Brady, in its more regularly ovate form.
