1414 8. Tricolocampe doliolum, n. sp.

Shell cylindrical, with hemispherical apex, rough. Length of the three joints = 1 : 3 : 5, breadth = 1 : 2 : 3. Cephalis spherical. Thorax and abdomen cylindrical, of nearly equal breadth. Mouth widely open, not constricted. Pores irregular, roundish, in the abdomen three to four times as large as in the thorax, disposed in oblique rows.

Dimensions.—Length of the three joints, a 0.03, b 0.09, c 0.16; breadth, a 0.03, b 0.05, c 0.09.

Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.

9. Tricolocampe cingulata, n. sp.

Shell subcylindrical, with obtuse conical apex, thick-walled. Length of the three joints = 2 : 3 : 11, breadth = 3 : 7 : 8. Cephalis hemispherical, not separated externally from the short conical thorax, but with internal collar septum. Abdomen cylindrical, with wide open, non-constricted mouth. Pores in the thorax narrow, obliquely ascending, in the abdomen twice as large, circular, arranged in ten to twelve regular transverse rows, separated by slight strictures. Lumbar septum nearly complete.

Shell subcylindrical, with obtuse conical apex. Length of the three joints = 1 : 2 : 4, breadth = 1 : 2 : 2. Cephalis subspherical. Thorax campanulate, separated by a deep collar, but a slight lumbar stricture. Abdomen cylindrical, with wide truncate mouth.

Definition.— (vel Tricyrtida eradiata aperta) with ovate abdomen, broader than the constricted mouth. Cephalis with a single horn.

The genus Theocorys and the two following closely allied genera, united formerly with Eucyrtidium, differ from the preceding Theocorida in the constriction of the
