(Abstract.) Gives a list of the Waverly genera of fossils. Without 

 any apparent want of conformity the Waverly follows the Chemung, but 

 at the point in the section marked "Place of the Catskill" there is a hia- 

 tus which, iu Eastern' New York and Pennsylvania, is marked by the 

 presence of measures having a thickness of from 3,000 to 5,000 feet- 

 Therefore we Lave a right to conclude that there has been a long inter- 

 val in time between the final deposition of the barren Chemung shales 

 and the fossiliferous Waverly sandstone, or that the deposition of the 

 estuary Catskill sediments has been going on simultaneously with the 

 open sea deposits of the Waverly formation.

 boniferou3 Formations of Pennsylvania ; with a supplementary note 

 on the Stylonurus excelsior. Proc. A. A. A. 8., vol. xxxiii, part ii, 

 pp. 420-422. 1885. Salem. 



The geologic range of the genus, so far as at present known, is from 

 the Clinton group, where we have an unpublished S])ecies {Eurypterus 

 prominens) — to the Coal Measures. Gives a tabular view of the geologi- 

 cal distribution of the family Eurypterdae in the United States. Gives 

 a note on the size and occurrence of 8tylonurus excelsior, Hall.

Discusses the Eurypteridse, gives a tabular view of the geological 

 distribution of the family in the United States, and describes Eurypterus

 The plates are intended to rei^resent the characteristic generic forms 



and to convey in a measure some idea of the variety of forms embraced 



iu each genus of Devonian Lamellibranchiata.
