Descriptions of Fossils collected by the U. S. Geological Sur- 

 vey, under the charge of Clarence King, Esq. By F. B. 

 Meek. 

 I introduce this paper in order to call attention to some of the 

 remarkable fresh-water species described from Idaho, namely, 

 two species of Carinifex, one of which (C. Tryoni) is made the 

 type of a new subgenus, Vorticifex,* a genus hitherto repre- 

 sented by a single species, C. Neivberryi, of California ; also a 

 true 3Ielania of Asiatic type.
