758 SCIENTIFIC EECORD FOR 1885. 



WiNCHELL, A. — iSTotices of K. H. Winchell on Lingula and Paratlox- 

 ides from the Eed Quartzites of Minnesota. Amer. Joiirn. Sci., 3d 

 ser., vol. XXX, pp. 316, 317. October, 1885. JS^ew Haven. 

 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- 

 ited. {See Winchell, N. H.) 



Winchell, A.— On Coenostroma and Idiostroma and the comprehen- 

 sive character of Stromatoporoids. Amer. Journ. Sci., 3d ser., vol. 

 XXX, p. 317. October, 1885. Kew 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. 



Winchell, N. H. — Fossils from the Eed Quartzite at Pipestone. Geol. 

 and Nat. Hist. Surv. Minn., 13th Ann. Rep., for 1884, pp. 65-72, pi. i. 

 1885. Saint Paul. 



Describes and illustrates two new doubtful fossils, Lingula calumet 

 and Paradoxides harheri. Also contains two letters on these dubious 

 forms, one by Prof. J. D. Dana and the other by Mr. S. W. Ford. 



WiNWOOD, H. H. — Geological Age of the Eocky Mountains. Geol. Mag., 

 new ser.. Decade III, vol. ii, p. 240. May, 1885. London. 

 Eeports finding a Menevian fauna with abundant remains of Parad- 

 oxides, Conocoryphe, and other allied forms north of the forty-ninth par- 

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

 seventeenth parallels of longitude, near Kicking Horse Pass on the 

 Canadian Pacific Eailway. 



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. 

 Loudon. 



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 

 positive 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 Neolimulns falcatus. {See Geol. Mag., vol. V, 

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