The following is the description by Troost : 

 Elongated elliptical. 



Ambulacra long, reaching to the middle of the whole body — terminating at the 

 base, acute pentagonal. 



Western declivity of the Cumberland Mountain in an oolitic limestone. — Sequatchie 

 Valley, Tennessee. Rarely Mount Sano, Alabama, and Springfield, Kentucky. 



Observations. — Doctor Hambach does not mention the specimen 

 which Troost has referred to this species, but according to the figures 

 it appears to be correctly identified. The deltoids are longer than is 

 usual in the species, but this point is not mentioned in the original 

 description, and specimens subsequently referred to the species show 

 great variation in the length of the deltoids. 



Doctor Hambach distinguishes the species from P. jlorealis as fol- 

 lows: 



This species differs from P . Jlorealis, its nearest relative, in having its greatest diame- 

 ter at the apex of the ambulacrum, dividing the calyx into two equal halves, i. e., 

 the distance from the articulation surface of the column equals the distance from the 

 apex of the ambulacrum to the summit.
