Semicells inflated, dorsum rounded or rectilinear, with superior angles produced into elongate, 

 transparent, hispid radii with trifurcate apices, often furnished also with intermediate equal 

 radii ; from the vertex three or four radiate, radii straight, trifurcate, equalling or longer than 

 the diameter of the body. 



Bemarhs. — I am indebted to Dr. Lewis for specimens of this species, which he 

 collected at Saco Lake.
