TRILOBITES OF THE CLINTON GROUP. 
Genus CYBELE (Loven). 
ENCRINURUS, Emmerich. 
This genus was described, at about the same time, under the name of Encrinurus by 
Emmerich, and Cybele by Loven. The latter name is, on many accounts, preferable ; and is 
likewise accompanied by a more full description, and with good illustrative figures.

Buckler semicircular or subcrescentiform, the posterior angles extended into long spines; 
glabella clavate, not lobed; surface of glabella and cheeks tuberculous; body composed of 
eleven articulations; caudal, shield with seven to nine articulations in the lateral lobes, and 
twenty-one in the middle lobe; every fourth or fifth articulation of the middle lobe tubercu- 
lated ; each of the lateral articulations more or less distinctly tuberculated ; oculiform tubercles 
prominent. 
This species usually occurs in fragments, the caudal shields and imperfect bucklers alone 
being found, except in rare instances. I have seen two individuals in a tolerably perfect con¬ 
dition, but the surface is so much injured that the markings are nearly obliterated. These 
individuals are larger, and of somewhat different proportions from the Trenton limestone 
specimens. The number of articulations in the middle lobe of the caudal shield is greater than 
in the Trenton species; and there are other characters, which, a comparison of specimens 
induces me to'believe, warrant the separation. 
Fig. 1 a. An individual nearly entire, showing the proportion of parts. The glabella is erroneously 
represented in the engraving as being lobed, while it is only tuberculated. 
Fig. 1 b, c. The glabella and base of buckler of two individuals of different size. 
Fig. 1 d. The cheek separated at the facial suture. 
Fig. 1 e. Profile of glabella, showing the strong indentations at the base. 
Fig. 1 /. An enlarged portion, showing the prominent tubercles. These specimens are all casts, 
so that the character of the tubercles in their original condition is not fully known.

Fig. 1 k. An enlargement of several articulations of the caudal shield. 
Position and locality. The fragments of this species have been found principally in the 
neighborhood of Medina, Orleans county. The entire individual is from Reynale’s basin, Niagara 
county. 
* At the time I published the description pf the allied species from the Trenton limestone, I was induced to refe E 
it to the Genus Ceraurus, from certain characters which it possesses in common with that genus.
