Shell smooth, slender, ovate, with three slight strictures. Four joints of different lengths. Cephalis subspherical, with a stout, club-shaped, spinulate or branched horn of the same length. Second campanulate and third subcylindrical joint about equal in size. Fourth joint only half as long, with slightly constricted mouth (broken off in Ehrenberg's figure). Pores small and numerous, regular, circular, quincuncial.

Dimensions.—Length of the shell (with four joints) 0.12; length of the second and of the third joints 0.04, breadth 0.05 to 0.06.

Habitat.—Fossil in Barbados.

10. Eucyrtidium hertwigii, n. sp. (Pl. 80, fig. 12).
