Notice of the exhibition, by N. H. Winchell, at the meeting of the Amer, 

 Assoc. Adv. Sci., at Ann Arbor, of a large slab from the " Pipestone quar- 

 ries," covered with small shells named by him Lingula. From the same 

 quarries a form, regarded as an imperfect Paradoxides, was also exhib-

 XXX, p. 317. October, 1885. New Haven. 



An abstract of a paper read before the meeting of the Amer. Assoc. 

 Adv. Sci., at Ann Arbor, by A. Winchell. The author concludes that 

 it is vain to seek to place Stromatoporoids within the bounds of any rec- 

 ognized class type.

Reports finding a Menevian fauna with abundant remains of Parad- 

 oxides, Conocoryphe, and other allied forms north of the fort.y-ninth par- 

 allel, and between the one hundred and sixteenth and one hundred and

Woodward, Henry. — Notice of a new Limuloid Crustacean from the 

 Devonian. By Henry Shaler Williams, of Cornell University. Geol. 

 Mag., new ser.. Decade III, vol. ii, pp. 427-429. September, 1885. 

 London. 



An abstract of H. S. Williams's article in the Amer. Journ. Sci., vol. 

 XXX, p. 45. July, 1885. New Haven. States that Mr. Williams's speci- 

 men, although of great interest, is too obscure to permit us to draw any 

 l)Ositive conclusions from it, save the fact of the important discovery of 

 a Limuloid Crustacean in rocks of Devonian age in Pennsylvania. A 

 still earlier Limuloid form has, however, been met with in the Upper 

 Silurian of Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, and described by Henry Wood- 

 ward under the name of Neolimidus falcatns. {See Geol. Mag., vol. v, 

 pp. 1-3, pi. i, fig. J, 1868.)
