species. It may have been made by either a branchiosaurian or a microsaurian, but 

 more probably the latter, since we do not know of any of the former animals from 

 the Cannelton beds, or in fact from any of the Coal Measures beds excepting the 

 Mazon Creek shales. The specimen is No. 2872 of the American Museum.

(g) Dr. J. A. Udden, in 1907, discovered a fragment of a phalanx of some 

 amphibian (plate 22, fig. 3) on the dump of the Cooperative Coal Company, a mile 

 east of Breeze, Illinois. It was obtained from below the Shoal Creek limestone 

 and somewhere above the (Illinois) Coal No. 6, according to Dr. Udden's notes. The 

 maximum width of the phalanx is 10 mm. and it probably had a length of 16 mm.
