Extract

IV.—Brachymetopus, M‘Coy, 1847.—General form elliptical; head-shield semicircular, and slightly pointed, about one-third wider than long; glabella small, somewhat elevated, one-third the width of the entire shield, and about one-half the length, having a basal lobe on each side, but no short lateral furrows on the glabella; neck-furrow distinctly marked, equal in width to the posterior border of free cheeks; eyes small, smooth, equal to half the length of the glabella; no facial suture visible, only the axal furrow surrounding the glabella and the neck-furrow; free-cheeks slightly convex, nearly twice as long as they are broad, with no visible suture separating them from one another in front of the glabella; margin broad and slightly grooved, angles of cheeks produced posteriorly into spines. The entire surface of the head covered irregularly with a small bead-like ornamentation.
