The species is also abundantly represented by molds in the Scho- 

 harie grit. S p . a c n m i n a t u s [fi^. 129], one of the large and 

 most robust species in this formation with a very prominent and 

 sharp sinus in the pedicle and corresponding strong elevation in 

 the brachial valve, forming a pronounced anterior deflection with 

 jdications flatly rounded and with a de])ression down the center; 

 and S ]) . d i V a r i c a t u s [fig. l-^O], still larger than the pre-
