 Especially abundant in Dudley limestone and shales. Usk, Monmouth- 

 shire ; in Ludlow and Wenlock rocks ( J, W. S.) Horse-shoe Farm, Tort- 

 worth ; Huntly-hill, Gloucestershire ; Caradoc sandstone ; Woolhope 

 limestone and upper Silurians of Woolhope, Abberley, and Malvern 

 districts. (Geol. Surv.) Not yet found in Ireland. 



Var. ft. — Marloes Bay, and St. Ishmael's, Pembrokesliire (Phillips). 

 Cwmdwr, Brecknockshire (J. W. S.)- Brindgwood Chase, in Ludlow rocks ; 

 ?3urrington, in Wenlock shale ; near Ludlow, Aymestry, and Nash Scar, Here- 

 fordshire (" Sil. Syst.") Usk, Monmouthshire, from Wenlock shale to 

 upper Ludlow rock ; Abberley and Malvern (Phillips). 



Foreign Distribution. — In Gottland, upper Silurian, rare (Dalman 

 and Hisinger.) Ripley, Ohio (Green ; — the localities quoted from 

 Canada are erroneous, Dr. Bigsby's specimens being of quite different 

 species, but one, which is probably the true species, was found by him 

 at Gaspe, Gulf of St. Lawrence). 



Explanation of Plate L 



Fig. 1. Perfect specimen, in Mr. Tennanfs cabinet, probably from Dudley.

 wing ; d, margin ; e, axis of body ring ; /, fulcrum of ditto ; g, part of the axis of a tuber-

Fig. 3. Hypostome from Ledbury. 



Fig. 4. Magnified view of surface of eye, the cornea tuberculate between the convex 

 portions which cover the lenses. At {a a), some small abortive lenses are seen. Ledbury. 



Fig. 5. A cast of the interior of the eye, the cornea having been removed, and the 

 lenstes fallen out. Vinnal Hill, Ludlow. 



Fig. 6. An eye, with very prominent lenses, which are partly visible, where the cornea 

 has been broken away. Ledbury. 



Fig. 7. A fine young specimen, with rather prolonged tail. Dudley, Cabinet of Mr.

Fig. 8. Specimen, with vastly prolonged head spines. Dudley Museum. 



Fig. 9. Head, with produced front (male ?) Bodenham, Woolhope.

Fig. 13. Tail of var. jS, longicaudatus. Craig- y-Garcyd, Usk, in Wenlock shale. 

 Fig. 14. Head of same variety. Burrington, Ludlow.
