nd the accompanying restorations (fig. 33, A, B, C) are those of thelast-named author. Fig. A represents the dorsal aspect, and fig. Bthe ventral aspect, while fig. C is a side view. The exposed marginsof the plates of the trunk are shown by thickened lines, while theamount and direction of their overlap are indicated by the thinlines. Sensory canals, both upon the head and trunk, are markedby double dotted lines. We would only add that the large inferiorexpansion of the caudal fin is omitted in the third figure (comparePI. YI. fig. 3, x) ; and for the details of the hard parts in theorbital opening, reference must be made to some of the specimensdescribed below, notably the original of PI. Y. fig. 2. The cranial shield is small compared with the armour of the ASTEROLEPIDJE. 209 trunk, and, so far as known, is confined to the dorsal and lateralaspects. A large transverse opening, somewhat constricted mesially,occurs in the middle of the roof; and all the constituent plates of Fig. 33.
