the form identified by me as P. conradi' from the New York Oriskany 

 save the presence in the former of a low tubercle on the neck rino- and I am 

 not altogether certain that this may not exist on the latter. 



Localities. Widely distributed in the upper limestones on the Grande 

 Greve coast ; also present in Perce Rock but rare.

Specimens of .this species are very characteristic cranidia, clearly 

 identical with the forms from the Oriskany of Becraft mountain. 

 Localities. Grande Greve and loose at Peninsula. 



Cordania gasepiou nov, 



Plate 9, figures 9, 10 



Body small, oval, cephalon with ovoid coarsely tubercled glabella and 

 small basal lobes, small and highly elevated eyes beneath which the cheeks 

 are excavated and concave and the anterior limb also concave and broad, 

 bordered by an upturned thickened rim ; genal angles extended into slender 

 spines reaching more than two-thirds the length of the thorax. There may 

 be a spinate tubercle on the neck ring but this has not been determined. 

 The thorax has segments which are crested in the axial line by a row of 

 spinules apparently increasing in length somewhat posteriorly and the lat- 

 eral moieties of the segments are finely pustulose. The pygidium has a 

 strongly elevated axis and the medial spines are higher and more recurved 

 than those of the thorax. The pleurae are depressed convex and about the 

 margin concave without a marginal rim. The pleural ribs are distinctly 

 duplicate and equally so near the margin. All the pygidial ribs carry fine 

 tubercles. The length of an entire specimen is 1 1 mm, width 9 mm. 



This species has much in common with Cordania becraftensis. 

 We do not know the latter so well but though its size is considerably 

 greater, its pygidium shows a similar duplication of the ribs and a cristate 

 axis though this crest appears to be composed of elevated tubercles and not 

 spines. 



Locality. Lehuquet's Cove, Forillon. Gasepiou is said by the Jesuit 

 fathers to be the Micmac name for the Forillon.
