Cephalis trilobate, with a single apical horn or a pointed tube in the apex of the helmet-shaped occipital lobe, which is a little longer than the two ovate frontal lobes. Thorax ovate, about as long as the cephalis, with very numerous and small pores.

Dimensions.—Length of the shell 0.08, breadth 0.04.

Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.


3. Lithobotrys nasuta, Ehrenberg.

Lithobotrys nasuta, Ehrenberg, 1875, Abhandl. d. k. Akad. d. Wiss. Berlin, p. 76, Taf. iii. fig. 21.

Cephalis quadrilobate, with a single descending sternal or nasal tube on the base of the anterior or frontal lobe, which is half as long as the helmet-shaped occipital lobe and twice as large as the two lateral buccal lobes. Thorax ovate, twice as long as the cephalis. Pores rather large, circular.
