4. Oblong or almost oblong plates having the characteristic ornament of 8. 

 bulbiferus. These are the more distal marginals, or in some cases the ventro- 

 lateralia of this species. Generally the marginals are indented at the corners, and 

 their shape can be decided from the characteristic breast-plate form.

Upper G-reensand Forms. 



The genus Oomptonia appears to be characteristic of this horizon. The plates 

 are very similar in shape to those of Calliderma, except that they are more 

 rounded in profile. Unfortunately, no specimen at present known shows the 

 ornament of the maro-iualia.
