Extract

Four fragments of a large cephalopod (from the Carboniferous Limestone) were collected by Professor Hughes' party in 1892 at Scarlett Quarry, Isle of Man. On fitting three of these together they were found to compose nearly the complete shell, and in a sufficiently good state of preservation to warrant description. The fourth fragment is a cast of a portion of the external surface. Mr. G. C. Crick has expressed his opinion that they represent a new species and probably a new subgenus or genus.
