_A. tyrannus_ MURCH. SALTER in Mem. Geol. Survey, Brit. Foss. Dec. II, 1849 pl. V, f. 4, excellent figure. On p. 2 he says: »there is an oval circumscribed tubercle at the origin of each (fork) most distinct on the inner surface». This figure is again reproduced in the »Monograph», pl. 22, f. 6, where it is said »Two linear tubercles with their interior apices converging towards the posterior margin of the hypostoma». _Asaphus_ sp., probably A. raniceps, POMPECKJ, Trilobitenfauna Ost- and West-Preussens, taf. VI, f. 7. p. 80 »an seinem Hinterrande liegen zwei kleine, flache Höckerchen, die als Reste des Hinterlappens aufzufassen sind»(!?). We shall now describe the Asaphi which we have been able to examine more in detail. =Asaphus expansus= L. Pl. I figs. 8-17. In the numerous specimens of which we have examined the hypostoma, there are always small, nearly circular maculæ which by their lighter colour are marked out from the surrounding smooth space of the inferior sinus of the lateral grooves where they are situated. They do not rise at all above the surrounding surface from which they are separated only by a fine, scarcely perceptible line. On the interior surface of the hypostoma they are better seen, and the enclosing line is deeper and more distinct. Their surface is there quite as smooth and even as on the exterior side of the hypostoma. They do not consequently in the least manner resemble muscular impressions as observable on the inside of the glabella of other trilobites. These are on the contrary elevated above the surface and finely striated in various ways.
