Point Levi Fossils, 201 



the river) for the larvfc of dragonflies, and at the time I supposed 

 it to be a newt. This animal was not more than an inch and a 

 half, or two inches long, with the stripes on the body well de- 

 fined, and of a purple or dark red colour. The branchial plumes^ 

 legs, and other parts of the body were proportioned, in about 

 the same manner as in that last described, but it was a verv much 

 prettier animal. Unfortunately it died, and was partly eaten (I 

 suppose by the cray fish) when I discovered it, otherwise I would 

 have preserved it. I have made repeated attempts to procure 

 another specimen but without success. 



ARTICLE XLIII. — On some new sjyecies of Fossils from the Lime- 

 stone near Point Levi opposite Quchec. By E. Billings. 



On examining the specimens recently collected at this locality 

 I find some evidence of several groups of species, each occurring 

 in a rock somewhat difi'erent in appearance from that which con- 

 tains the others. It does not seem improbable, judging from the 

 fact that all the three varieties of limestone occur in close proximity 

 to each other ,that these species may yet be found more or less inter- 

 mingled in the same beds, but for the present it is best to keep 

 them separate. I shall designate the rocks simply as limestones 

 Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4. The genera collected in each are as fol- 

 lows. 



No. 1. Lingula, 2 species. Piscina, 1. Agnostus^ 3. Cono 

 cepJialites, 1. Arionellus, 4. Pikelocephaliis, 6. Bathyurus, 

 4. Total 21. 



No. 2. Pictyonema, 1. Lingula, 1. Orthis, 2. Stropho- 

 mena, 1. Camerella, 1. Cyrtodonta, 1. llurchisonia, 3. Pleu- 

 rotomaria, 7. Helicotoma, 2. Straparollus, 2. Patella, 2. 

 Fcculiomphalus, 2. Orthoceras, 5. Cyrtoceras, 4. Agnostus, 1. 

 Bathyurus, 4. Cheirurus, 2. Total 41. 



No. 3. Asaphus, 2. 



No. 4. In a fourth mass of limestone imbedded in the clifi", 

 near the ferry, a coral which resembles a Tetradium with very fine 

 tubes and an Orthis of the type of perveta were found. 



One of the species of Lingula and apparently Agnostus OrioUy 

 are common to Nos. 1 and 2.
