The pocketlike consoles are shorter and broader than in N. læviceps and the maculæ also larger and of an elliptic shape. In a horizontal section near the surface the macula has a speckled appearance of black dots, indicating an undeveloped prismatic structure, much more primitive than in the Asaphidæ.

It differs from the preceding through longer consoles below the maculæ, which are oval and in a horizontal section exhibit the same spongious structure, [pl. V fig. 25]. The cephalic eyes consist of polyedric prisms, which through deterioration show a central cylindrical core surrounded by darkish matter like Asaphus. The passage from solid, homogenous prisms to changed ones is most evident in the [figure 22].

Figures of the maculæ are found in
O. Buchi Salter, Mem. Geol. Surv., Dec. II pl. VI fig. 3 p. 2, where it is stated that »there are two transverse furrows near the apex, with compressed tubercles between them» There are two narrow crescentic maculæ and between them a little lower a longer, crescentic ridge, which may be the ridge that in other species connects the maculæ. Moreover, the shape of the hypostoma is not concordant with that of the other species. In Monogr. Brit Trilob. pl. 15 figs. 2, 3 there is only a reproduction of the former figure.

The figure has two small maculæ near the posterior margin and the author says »mit einer starken Vertiefung oder Einschnitt an jeder Seite des Endes». Angelin pl. XLII fig. 1 b. Brögger's fig. 38 pl. 3, in II, collies near to the specimen, which is described below, also belonging to Dr. G. Holm.
