KNO^VLTON, Frank Hall. Fossil plants 

 from Kukak Bay. 



Harriman Alaska Expedition, iv, 1904, 

 pp. 149-1(12, pis. xxii-xxxin. 

 The collection from Kiikak Bay on the 

 Alaska Peninsula, a little north of west from 

 KadiakIsland,contained twenty-seven forms, 

 nine of which are described by Mr. Knowlton 

 as new to science. The beds from which the 

 specimens were olitaincd are referred to the 

 Upper Eocene.

 Devonic Cystidea and Camarocrinus.

pis. 34-44, text, figs. 21-44. 

 This important article is by far the most 

 extensive paper on American Cystidea yet 

 published and is practically a monograph of 

 the Silurian and Devonian representatives of 

 this class. Notes on the occurrence of these 

 fossils, their preparation for study, and on 

 the geologic section at the chief locality, near 

 Keyser, W. Va., precedes the description of 

 genera and species. Under the class Carpoi- 

 dea the genus Anomalocystites and the two 

 species A . cornutus and A.f disparilis are dis- 

 cussed and figured. The Cystoidea proper are 

 represented by 11 genera and 26 species, all of 

 which are descrilied and figured in detail. Of 

 these, two genera, Tetracystis and Trime- 

 rocystis, are new, and 12 of the species are 

 described for the first time. 



The article concludes with a discussion of 

 the peculiar genus Camarocrinus in which 

 the author conies to the conclusion that 

 Camarocrinus "appears to be the float of an 

 unknown crinoid that was held together after 

 the death of the individual by the firmly inter- 

 locked double walls of the exterior and inte- 

 rior , while the crown and stalk dropped away..' ' 

 Three species and one new variety of Camaro- 

 crinus are described and figured. With the 

 exception of two or three specimens, all of the 

 material upon which this article is based is in 

 the collections of the U. 8. National Museum.

 pp. 43.3-438, pi. 121. 

 In this chapter of the Miocene volume of the 

 Maryland Geological Survey, the new genus 

 Milleaster is instituted and the following new 

 species are described: Milleaster incrustans, 

 M.f subramosa, and Hydractinia multispi- 

 nosa.

 II. On the genera and species of Tre-

 issue, n, pt. 1. No. 1470, Aug. 6, 1904, pp. 

 1.5-5.^, pis. 6-14. 

 As indicated by the title, this is a revision 

 of the Paleozoic trepostomatous Bryozoa, a 

 very abundant and important group of the 

 Paleozoic fossils. Two new divisions are 

 instituted for this order, namely, the Amal- 

 gamata and Integrata, based on the minute 

 structure of the zocecial walls. Whenever 

 necessary the old genera are redefined or 

 limited, while the following new genera are 

 proposed: Orbignyella, Cyphotrypa, Stigma- 

 tella, Rhombotrypa, Calloporina, and Ana- 

 phragma. In order to illustrate the generic 

 characters or to bring out new features other- 

 wise, 35 species are described or figured. 



Miocene Ostracoda of Maryland. 



Maryland Geol. Surv., Miocene, 1904, 

 pp. 98-139, pis. 35-38. 

 In this chapter of the Miocene volume issued 

 by the Maryland Geological Survey, the Ostra- 

 coda of this State are treated monographic- 

 ally. Forty new species and varieties are 

 described and figured, distributed as follows: 

 Cythere, 24 species and 6 varieties; Cythereis, 

 1 species and 1 variety; Cytheridea, 2 species; 

 Cytheredeis, 5 species, and Cytheropteron, 1 

 species. 



Miocene Bryozoa of Maiyland.

404-429, pis. 110-118. 



This chapter treats of the Miocene Bryozoa 



of Maryland. Twenty-nine species of Chilo- 



stomata and 3 of Cyclostomata are described 



and figured .

 pp. 438-447, pis. cxxii-cxxix. 



Gives an account of the Miocene Madre- 

 poraria of Maryland and Virginia. Astran- 

 gia conradi is described as new. This paper 

 contains several glaring misprints, the 

 worst of which is the substitution of the 

 family name Cyathophyllidae forCaryophyl- 

 lidse. In the explanation of pi. cxxiii, the 

 word abnormal has been changed to normal.

 May 10, 1905, pp. 371-424. 

 Reviews the previous work on the simple 

 Fungid corals and proposes a tentative clas- 

 sification. Four families, Fungiidae, Micra- 

 baciidae (new) . Leptophylliidae (new name) , 

 and Anabraciidae are recognized. The data 

 concerning 12 genera were insufficient for 

 referring them to any of the established fam-
