An imperfectly known species, of large size, apparently closely 
related to Pteraspis rostrata , has been obtained from the uppermost 
Silurian and Lower Devonian of Galicia, and described under the 
name of Pteraspis major , A. von Alth, Abhandl. k. k. geol. Beichs- 
anstalt, Wien, vol. vii. pt. i. (1874), p. 44, pi. i. flgs. 1-4, pi. iii. 
figs. 3-5 \ The following specimen may be referable to this 
form:—

P. 6099. Portions of dorsal and ventral shields in natural apposition, 
the dorsal showing the posterior spine ; Upper Ludlow, 
Bilcze-on-Sered, Galicia. From the Alth Collection .— 
Presented by Prof. W. Szajnocha , 1888. 
It is interesting to note that the supposed ventral shield of P. 
rostrata has already been recorded by v. Alth from the Upper Silu¬ 
rian of Galicia ( supra , p. 164, footnote). 
1 If the undetermined specimen described and figured in Alth’s memoir (p. 71, 
pi. v. fig. 33) pertain to this species, as suggested, the broad, rounded character 
the rostra region suffices to distinguish it from P. rostrata.
