The changes described on pp. 144-146 are illustrated here. In comparison with Figure 62, the relationships approximate the recent forms derived from this type: the cone flag is restricted to the posterior end and is atypically (and excessively) reduced in comparison to the lateral plates (Fa) so that the fins extend anteriorly beyond their primary position (c f. also Figure 65, which shows the typical relationships better
