Centrolophinee with an oval contour, about four short, stout spines con- 
stituting the foremost part of the dorsal, and a declivous or slightly pro-

The generic vharacters of this type, if distinct, have not yet been satis- 
factorily contrasted with those of Leirus. There is a singular discrepancy 
between the several figures of the types, most of which can, however, be 
satisfactorily accounted for.
