PALAEONTOLOGY OF NEW-YORK. 
plate from the inner anterior angle of the. cheek touches the front lobe of the glabella near its 
anterior angle. Axis of the body convex, nearly as wide as the lateral lobes; pleura convex 
and straight for half their length, and then gently curved downwards and flattened, grooved 
along the centre. Caudal shield with eight rings in the middle lobe; lateral lobes with six flat 
ribs strongly bent downards; surface granulate, with larger tubercles on the glabella and other 
parts. 
The specimens examined are all imperfect, and the surface markings are also more or less 
obliterated. The characteristic features are the deep furrow along the front and cheek margins, 
and between the glabella and cheeks, and the projecting lobes from the inner margins of the 
cheeks which touch or unite with the glabella, arching over the axal furrow. In the two sepa¬ 
rated cephalic shields, the portion beyond the facial suture is wanting, and in the more entire 
specimen it is too obscure to be characterized.

cephalic shield.

suture. In this specimen, the connexion of the cheeks with the glabella is shown 
upon one side.

705. 3. CYTHERINA ALTAI 
Pl. LXXVIII. Fig. 2a-d. 
Reniform, wider posteriorly, very convex in the middle, and somewhat depressed towards 
the two extremities; dorsal margin straight, much shorter than the width of the shell; a small 
node near the anterior dorsal angle ; surface papulous. 
Mr. Conrad cites Cytherina alta from the Tentaculite limestone, and it is possible the 
present maybe identical with that one ; but in specimens examined, this species is more nearly 
equal at the two extremities; while in those in the tentaculite limestone, the anterior end is 
narrower than the posterior. I have not seen surfaces of the latter well preserved.
