THE EURYPTERIDA OF NEW YORK : 269 
straight; slightly bulging.in the posterior half; posterior margin broadly 
concave. Antelateral angles very prominent, a little larger than a right 
angle; genal angles well rounded in the type, rectangular in other speci- 
mens. A distinct flat or beveled border follows the lateral margin, and 
a narrower one the frontal margin. The lateral eyes are situated at the 
antelateral corners, relatively small (about one fifth the length of the 
carapace), semicircular to semielliptical in form, the straight diameter 
forming the inner margin. The visual surface was apparently crescent- 
shaped. The ocelli were situated on a line with the posterior extremities 
of the lateral eyes. The ornamentation [see pl. 83, fig. 10] consists of 
closely arranged, low flat nodes. 
Horizon and localities. Frankfort shale at Schenectady (Dettbarn 
quarry), Aqueduct, Rotterdam Junction and Duanesburg, whence the 
type and some of the best specimens came. 
Remarks. We have about a dozen carapaces, mostly from Schenec- 
tady, which agree in general outline and position of the lateral eyes, but 
show slight variations in the character of the frontal margin which in 
some exhibits a rather sharply protuding middle projection while in others 
it is Somewhat emarginate. It is, however, quite probable that these latter 
variations from the form of the frontal margin of the type, are due to lateral 
and oblique compression and folding of the thin integuments. 
This species must have attained considerable size, for one carapace 
[pl. 83, fig. 14] was about 69 mm long and 62 mm wide at the frontal angles. 
The type specimen measures 8 mm by 8 mm. | 
A metastoma has been found which recalls that of D. macro- 
chirus.

Description. Carapace of small size, spade-shaped in outline, broader 
by one half in front than at the base, its greatest width equal to its length; 
the frontal margin marked by a flat or beveled border, most produced in 
the middle, and posteriorly bounded by a straight transverse projecting
