A. ffinities and lJi. fferences.-Ha'rpoceras Levisoni has strong affinities with Harp. bifrons, still the build of the shells presents important points of difference. In Harp. Levisoni the shelly laminre are thicker, and the style of costation different; the lateral groove which divides the costre on the sides, and produces an outer costated half and an inner smooth half in Harp. bifrons, is absent in Harp. Levisoni. The form of the siphonal area is likewise different, in Harp. bifrons we have a small keel with grooves on each side, whilst in Harp. Levisoni there is a thicker and more prominent keel, and an absence of the two lateral furrows on each side of the carina. The morphology of the two species is likewise different. In early life the shell of Harpoceras Levisoni likens it to that of an. Arietites; it has thick, straight costre, knobbed at the angle, and a siphonal area with stout keel, and two lateral grooves, like Ariet. obtusus; all these characters, however, become obsolete as the evolution of the shell proceeds. It is only by breaking up large specimens and finding the nucleus, that the truth is reve! lled. When all these differences in the structural characters are fairly considered, they are sufficient to justify the separation into two distinct species.
