Emmons, American Geology, Vol. 1, part 2, page 116, plate 1, fig. 8, enlarged ahout five diameters, Wolcott, in Bull. U. S. G. Sur. No. 30, page 152, says, Emmons' genus Microdiscus was founded on a speci- men of Trhiucleus. — Barrande thought Emmons' minute forms might be the young fry of some large trilobite like Trinucleus. (Salter.)—Now, many of these minute species are known {jpunctatus^ speciosus, etc.,) and grouped as Microdiscus^ midway between the Agnos- ^^^5 and the Conophrys groups. Pemphigaspis iullata (Hall, 16th An. Rt. p. 221) is closely related.—Emmons' specimens were found in the White fragile [H. River) shales. His name Microdiscus cannot be applied to his specimens; but it is retained for all the minute Cambrian species. (Walcott.) Microdiscus speciosus, (Ford. 1873, Am. J. S. VI, p. 137, fig. 2 a, I.
