Five inter-costals interbrachials of an elliptic,' form, rendered more or less angular, by the adjacent plates, or they are polygonal rendered elliptical by the corrugation--they fill up the re-entering angle mentioned above and are surrounded on both sides by the costals radials, scapulae primibrachs, and by the plates which rest upon the hexangular scapulae and support two elongated hexagonal inter-scapulae second interbrachials. Inter-scapulae second interbrachials 10, of an elongated hexagonal form--they support first two small plates, upon which follows a row of four still smaller plates; upon these follows a horizontal beveled edge filling the space between two apertures for the arms and completing in this manner the superior rim of the cup. The capital integument as well as could be discovered from my imperfect specimen, is formed of polygonal plates of which the form could not be ascertained, they are carved somewhat similar to those of the cup.--No oral anal aperture is visible, it existed probably on the part that is destroyed.0 Around the margin, between two arms and between each pair of arms radi are series of elongated pores--between two arms generally five, and between each pair of arms seven, these numbers vary, neverthel...
