eitlier of tlie preceding species except D. tridens , and may usually be distinguished, 
particularly on the border or limb, by its coarser p'ustulose markings. 
Two specimens have been found partially preserving the bifurcate extension in 
front, one being the upper and the other the lower side of the head; while two 
others (one of which is represented, fig. 1 , Plate lxxvi ) have this process broken 
off. In one specimen, a single eye is pretty well preserved, but not in such a degree 
of perfection as to enable one to count the entire number of lenses.

of the eyes, and the frontal process. The extremities of the bifurcations are broken 
off, and their true extent is not known.
