. College collection of palaeontology. No. 159. [423, Cast]. Homalonotus delphinocephalus, Murch. This genus is so named because the three-lobed aspect, so characteristic of the family, is, in a great measure obliterated, and the back appears smooth and uniform. The cephalic and caudal shields are hyper- bolic; the rings number thirteen. This species is char- acterized by the distinct trilobation of the tail in all its stages of growth, as well as by its slender body and acute caudal extremity. The specimen is from the Upper Silurian at Dudley, England. Size, 7x4. No. 160. [426, Cast]. Ulaenus

It has ten articulations; prominent eyes, and large, convex buckler and caudal shield. This specimen is from the Lower Silurian, Angers, France, and is in the Ward Collection of the University of Rochester. No. 161. [428, Cast]. Lichas Boltoni, Green. This beautiful Trilobite is easily recognized by its peculiar scabrous surface, depressed body and head, and the free extremities of the segments pointing backwards. The thorax is large and is divided into eleven segments. It is from the Niagara Group (Upper Silurian), Lockport, N. Y., where it is a characteristic fossil, although not often found entire.
