We are thus convinced that P. cobbi, although represented only 
by a free ramus, deserves recognition as a separate species. Its full char- 
acters will have to be established by future discoveries. For the present 
we base the description on the better preserved second specimen. 
The main body of the ramus is nearly straight, its outer edge slightly 
convex, the inner slightly elevated in the middle in support of the largest 
tooth. It tapers uniformly, diminishing in width from the articulating 
extremity to the base of the terminal tooth by one half. It bears three 
series of teeth, one, consisting of the largest (four in this specimen) and 
culminating in the second tooth, and another only half as long, intercalated 
between the large teeth. A few teeth of a third order again half as long as 
those of the second order are noticeable near the basal part of the ramus. 
The teeth possess a very slight forward curvature and stand at right 
angles on the jaw with the exception of those of the second order near 
the base, which correspond to the oblique direction of that part, and are 
directed forward. Fine longitudinal lines are noticeable on the teeth. The 
distal end of the ramus curves somewhat abruptly into a tooth, longer 
by one fourth than the culminating tooth of the middle part of the ramus 
and subparallel to it. 
The length of the ramus is 13 cm (5% inches). Its width at the 
base is 16.8 mm. The culminating tooth measures 19.4 mm. 
If we assume that this ramus possessed the same proportional size 
to the length of the body as in other members of the genus, we derive an 
individual 6 feet, 7 inches long. Whatever the actual dimensions of this 
eurypterid may have been, the size and aspect of the jaw are convincing 
proof of its formidable character.
