Ford, S. W., and W. B. Dwight. Preliminary Eeport of S. W. Ford 

 and W.B.Dwiglit upon the fossils obtained in 1885 from MetamoBi^hic 

 limestones of tbeTaconic series of Prof. Emmons at Canaan, ISfewYorkc

 at Canaan, by W. B. Dwight. (Nature, vol. xxxiv, p. 6-^, 1886. London and

Ford, S. W. jSTote on the Age of the Swedish Paradoxides Beds. 

 (Amer. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol xxxii, pp. 473-47G, December, 1886. 

 New Haven.) 



The facts (1) that the position of TaradoxUlcs Kjcrulfi in the Swedish Primordial 

 is directly below the zone carrying the British F. Ilicksi ; (2) that it is 

 clearly allied to P. (ilandicus, a Brachypleural species and an undoubted 

 Paradoxides ; and (3) that it is a Menevian species in America ; all appear 

 to me to iudicate that it is a Menevian species in Europe also, and that, the 

 strata there affording It, may be regarded as constituting a legitimate i)or-. 

 tion of the Swedish Paradoxides measures.
