308. 4. CALYMENE (Species undetermined). 
Pl. LXVI. Figs. 3 a, b. 
Caudal shield with seven or more articulations in the lateral lobes, and ten in the 
middle lobe; articulations of the lateral lobes of the thorax and caudal shield with a 
distinct groove extending nearly their entire length ; extremities obtuse; lateral lobes 
nearly once and a half the width of the middle lobe. 
The width of the lateral lobes of the thorax, compared with the middle lobe, is much 
greater than in Calymene beckii , and somewhat greater than in C. senaria. The continuous, 
nearly direct, groove in the articulations of the lateral lobe, is different from the same in 
C. senaria , and may perhaps prove a sufficient distinction to identify fragments of the two 
species. The two fragments figured are the only parts of the fossil yet observed, and from 
these the crust is entirely removed, so that no aid in distinguishing the species can be 
obtained from the surface markings. 
Fig. 3 a. A part of the thorax, preserving eight or nine articulations. 
Fig. 3 b. The caudal shield, with a few segments of the thorax. 
Position and locality. These specimens were obtained in the Utica slate, near Canajo- 
harie, Mohawk valley. The Calymene beckii occurs in the same locality.

309. 5. ASAPHUS 1 LATIMARGINATA ( n. sp.). 
Pl. LXVI. Figs. 4 a, b. 
Compare Asaplius tyrannus, Murchison, Sil. System, 1839, pag. 662, pl. 25, fig. lab. 
Caudal shield with fourteen articulations in the lateral lobes, and about the same 
number in the middle one; the posterior articulations of the latter lobe join the axis in an 
acute angle, and all terminate in a flat border; surface (of exfoliated portions ) marked 
by imbricating lamellose striae; outer surface of the crust finely punctured. 
The fragment of a caudal shield of a much larger specimen (fig. 3 b), was found in 
the same stone as the other, and, from its surface markings, doubtless belongs to the same 
species. The articulations are narrow, as in Asaplius tyrannus , and terminate in a broad 
flat border; it is impossible, however, to decide that it is identical with that species. It also 
bears some analogy with the fragment found in the Birdseye limestone, but on comparison 
proves clearly distinct.
