Summary

A second specimen of Osculocystis confirms that the genus occurs in the Upper Llandovery (Purple Shales) near Buildwas, Shropshire and adds information on morphology. The subvective system consists of a single long brachiole; the stem lacks a root structure. The mouth, gonopore and hydropore are described and the three pectinirhombs B2:IL2, L2:R1 and L4:R3 are confirmed.
