The main purpose of this paper is to describe the morphology of a single genus of trilobite (Redlichia) and to discuss, and settle, the uncertainties of its stratigraphical and geographical distribution. Redlichia is the nominate genus of a family and a superfamily (suborder) and is consequently of paramount taxonomic significance. It is in its general organization related to the olenellids, but differs from them, as do the majority of trilobites, in having well-developed cephalic sutures. This paper was originally prepared in 1950-52; subsequently additions have been made in an attempt to exploit the wealth of new information published on trilobites between 1953 and 1957.
