DescrijJtion. — Head very convex, forming about one-fourth of a sphere, 

 the posterior third distinctly tri-lobed by the dorsal furrows which are dis- 

 tant from each other about one-third the whole width. Eyes near the 

 posterior margin, and distant from the dorsal furrows about one-half the 

 width of the central lobe. Pygidium rather strongly convex, nearly semi- 

 circular, its length a little more than half the width at the front margin, 

 the posterior three-fourths of the margin uniformly rounded to the curve 

 of a semicircle very nearly, the anterior third obliquely truncated ; axis 

 one-third the whole length, not defined at the extremity. 



A specimen of the head without the fixed cheeks measures along the 

 curve on the median Hne, nine and a half fines ; width of the middle lobe, 

 four fines ; length of dorsal furrows, about three lines ; distance of the eye 

 from the dorsal furrow, two lines ; distance from the posterior angle of 

 the eye to the posterior margin, a fittle less than one line ; the length of the 

 eye is about one and a half lines. A detached cheek which occurs in the 

 same fragment of stone with several imperfect heads has the outer angle 

 weU rounded and distant two and a half fines from the eye. In the pyg-
