Mr. Billings also examined a few fossils from Masardis, Telos 

 Lake, Stair Falls and Moosehead Lake. All except the Masardis 

 specimens were collected during the first year of the survey. For 

 the details we would again refer to this valuable paper in the pro- 

 ceedings. There are some new species among them — both Lower 

 Helderberg and Oriskany sandstone.
