size. The body is proportionately broader and shorter thaii 

 that indicated by the sternite described above. In eurypterids 

 of the 1ype of Eusarcus scorpionis Grote and Pitt (15) , 

 C a r c i n o s o m a newlini Claypole (16), Echinogathus 

 clevelandi Walcott (4), Eurvpterus puncta t us 

 Salter. E. scorpiodes Woodward (8), E. scoticus 

 Laurie (17), etc., so far as material shows, the preabdomen is 

 obese, the second pair of endognathites is the longest, and 

 all four pairs with their spines are curved forward. In Sty- 

 lonurns and the related genus, Drepanopterus (17), the fourth 

 endognathites are without any elaborate development of spines, 

 and in the former are greatly elongated. In Slimonia" the first 

 pair of endognathites is tactile, the succeeding three pairs are 

 short, vary little in size and are all provided with small spines 

 at the distal ends of the joints. In the Pterygotus the four pairs 

 of endognathites are filiform, of nearly equal size and probably 

 in all cases, spineless. 



It seems quite probable that, with more perfect material, 

 this form will be found to represent a new genus.
