Partly owing to unskilful de-veloping, partly to the absence of the counterpart-slab, several ofthem are in such a crushed and otherwise imperfect condition, that insome cases not even the genus could be made out with certainty ;which is equivalent to saying that their interest is little beyond tliatof mere curiosities. Ou closer examination it appeared to me thatin some instances the case was not quite so hopeless, and that bycarefully developing the more important parts still concealed bythe matrix, a more satisfactory state of things might be following pages are an account of the result arrived at.
