segments nine to ten; axis very distinct, and as wide as the pleiu’®, -with strong axial 
furrows; pleurae much bent down, with wide and spathulate facets. Pygidium of ten 
segments, without any terminal spine ; margin entire, nearly Tertical, and striate ; 
furrows of limbs wide and shallow. Testaceous sculpture unknown. 
Ohs. The above description is taken from a very perfect individual, collected by 
Mr. P. W. Pears, from which the test had been removed. The presence of the shelly 
matter would only modify the above expressions in but a slight degree. 
The presence of the glabella furrows at once removes this species from 
• ^riffiiMdes, and indicates PhilUpsia as its proper resting place. It even appears to be 
peculiar amongst the species of this genus, for the remarkable diminution in width of 
the glabella forwards. Mr. H. Etheridge, E.R.S., described P. duhia as jjossessing from 
ten to twelve thoracic segurents, but there appear to be only ten at the outside in the 
present specimen.

Sp. Ghar. Glabella round, without any lateral inflection of the margin, 
moderately convex in the middle lino, and a little arched posteriorly ; neck furrow 
strong and deep, with more or less complete basal furrows ; anterior furrows present, 
but faint ; anterior border thick and upwardly turned, leaving a wide depression between 
it and the front of the glabella.- 
Obs. This is a much larger and rounder form than P. duhia; but the marked 
feature is the upwardly turned front rim to the head, separated from the front of the 
glabella, a character sometimes met with in this genus, but not often, as the border is 
Usually confined to the immediate front edge of the glabella. In general appearance 
-f- Woodwardi resembles some species of the allied genus Proetus, and in its remarkable 
* Rotundity Ckeirurus. 
The glabella of P. Woodwardi may be distinguished from that of P. duhia by its 
continuous and non-indented outline. 
The pygidium referred to is much larger than that described as P. duhia, but 
otherwise resembles it ; and again only differs from the Trilobite figured by Dr. Koninck 
Q-ri_ffltMdes Eiclnoaldi in having a rather narrower axis ; in fact it is quite possible 
hat the two may be identical. De Xoninck’s reference of a New South AVales Trilobite 
0 that species is, I believe, erroneous. The pygidium he figures is much too round for 
Eichwaldi, and not so long from before back-wards, being more semi-circular and less 
deltoid.
