It- can then scarcely be doubted that the latter-species was unrightl)- referred to the genus Echinocrcpis and will have to be made the type of a new genus. I Comp. Iielow p. 83 — - It is of course, the fragmentary condition of his material of this species which has caused that interpretation. Not knowing the real structure of P. phialc. Loven could scarcely interpret these piates in P. carinata otherwise.
