continental fossil, similar to that I had already formed of the English and Irish specimens,and which though I cannot advance as a discovery, I can yet confirm so far. To giveHerr Beyrich full credit for his penetration, I subjoin his remarks (loc. cit. p. 47), andhave great pleasure in naming the genus after him. Battus tuberculatus, Kloden, welchenBurmeister als synonym zu Odontopleura ovata citirt, ist weder ein Battus nocht iiberhauptein Trilobit. Er hat ein zweiklappige Schale, deren Oberfliiche mit ganz unsymmetrischgeordneten Lappen und Tuberkeln bedeckt ist, und muss eine besondere Gattung nebenCytherina bilden.

The Agnostus lalus of the American geologists from their Clinton group, also belongsto this genus. The species I propose naming after its original discoverer, BeyrichiaKlodeniA (Loc. cit. p. 58.)

The Cythere phaseolus of Hisinger is enumerated among Irish Silurian fossils in thesame work.

V. From the treatise Ueber einige bohmische Trilobiten, by Dr. Ernst Beyrich (1845),referred to by Professor Burmeister more than once, we have extracted the following genericcharacters of Cheirurus, Sph^rexochus, Lichas, and Trochurus.

Cheirurus. Caput ambitu semi-orbiculari, limbo pnecinctum, testa tectum granulosain glabella, scrobiculosa in genis. Suturm faciales ab oculis postice ad marginem exteriorem,antice sejunctm ad marginem ductse. Oculi parvi. Sulcus occipitalis profundus, propeangulos cum sulco marginali confluens. Glabella magna, lata, usque ad limbum marginalemporrecta, frontem versus dilatata. Sulci laterales glabellas tres distincti; posteriores versusad sulcum verticalem retrorsi; medii et anteriores stepius conjuncti, recti vel parumretroversi. Aim occipitales scuti centralis latm ; scuta marginalia parva.

Thorax ex articulis, undecim. Rhachis arcuata, versus pygidium coarctata, trans-versim annulata. Pleurae sulco transversali in partem interiorem minorem et exteriorem

* In the forthcoming (the second) volume of the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of England andWales, now in the press, a new species of Oleuus is described by Professor Phillips, under the name of0. humilis , and a new Ampyx, named by Professor E. Forbes, A. parvulus.
