6 RESEARCH IN CHINA. 



Dr. Henry Woodward reviewed, in 1905, the work of Dr. H. Monke 1 and 

 discussed some of the species occurring in a collection of fossils obtained from 

 "West vShan-tung, and south of Tsing-tshou-fu, 36 40' N. lat., 118 40' E. 

 long." A slab of the fossils from near Yen-tsy-yai is illustrated. 



Late in 1906 a short memoir by Dr. Th. Lorenz appeared; 2 in which he 

 described a number of new genera and species of Cambrian fossils collected by 

 him in the province of Shan-tung and assigned stratigraphic horizons to them. 



The fauna from Lai-wu was worked out of a single block found loose in 

 the bed of a brook about 9 km. west of Lai-wu. Lorenz concludes that the 

 fauna represents the time of the base of the Swedish Andrarum limestone, 

 within the limits of the zone with Paradoxides davidis and P. forchhammeri. 3 

 The list of species given by him is as follows: 



Olenoides (Dorypyge) richthofeni (Dames) Amphoton steinmanni n. g. and sp. 



Agnostus fallax laiwuensis n. var. Ptychoparia (Solenopleura) sp. 



Agnostus parvifrons Linnarsson Hyolithes sp. 



Anomocare commune n. sp. Rhaphistoma brbggeri Gronwall 



Anomocare ovatum n. sp. Acrothele bohemica (Barrande) 

 Alokistocare sp. 



From the descriptions and illustrations I have identified the above as 

 follows : 



Olenoides (Dorypyge) richthofeni (Dames) = Dorypyge richthofeni Dames 



A gnostus fallax laiwuensis Lorenz = Agnostus chinensis Dames 



Agnostus parvifrons Linnarsson = Agnostus cf. parvifrons Linnarsson 



Anomocare commune Lorenz = Anomocarella chinensis Walcott 



Anomocare ovatum Lorenz = Amomocare temenus Walcott 



Alokistocare sp. (not illustrated or described) 



Amphoton steinmanni Lorenz = Dolicliontetopus deals Walcott 



Rhaphistoma brbggeri Lorenz = Platyceras willisi Walcott 



Acrothele bohemica Barrande = Acrothele matthewi eryx Walcott 



The horizon of the Dorypyge richthofeni fauna in Shan-tung was definitely 

 established by Messrs. Willis and Blackwelder as in the Middle Cambrian 

 below the central part of the Kiu-lung group. 4 In Shan-si the fauna occurs 

 in an oolitic limestone that, by its fauna, is related to the Ch'ang-hia oolite. 5 



The fauna from Wang-tschuang occurs at three horizons. It is listed 

 by Doctor Lorenz as follows: 6 



A lower layer with (a) : Eighty meters higher up, a layer with (i) : 

 Anomocare spedosmn Lorenz Teinistion (?) sp. 



Rathyuriscus asiaticus Lorenz Drepanura (?) sp. 



Agnostus fallax Linnarsson At 80 meters above, an upper layer has (c) :
