Type. Detached teeth; British Museum. 
Teeth mostly longer than broad; a curved transverse suture 
dividing the posterior fourth (or more) of the tooth from the ante¬ 
rior portion. The posterior border of the latter is excavated and 
gently curved, and the postero-lateral angles are not greatly pro¬ 
duced. The small isolated hinder portion of the tooth has a sinuous 
posterior margin, strongly convex in the middle. 
It does not appear certain that the tooth originally figured by 
Portlock as pertaining to this species is the same as those upon 
■which the foregoing diagnosis is founded. It seems advisable, 
however, to follow Agassiz’s intentions as interpreted by J. W. Davis, 
who first fully defined the form.

Northumberland ( M‘Coy ). Upper Carboniferous Limestone: York¬
