 plete the soil mapping. A study of the material collected was made at 

 Indiana University under the efficient and authoritative direction of Dr. 

 !•}. U. Cumminss and aided by the useful snsgestions of Dr. J. J. Galloway. 

 The results of the paleontologic work forms the basis for this paper. The 

 identifications and a portion of the descriptions were completed before mak- 

 ing a visit to the U. S. National Museum to compare the new and old forms 

 with the unpublished material of Dr. E. O. TJlrich and Dr. K. S. Bassler. 

 It was discovered that they had the following species described and photo- 

 graphed : 



(Vramoporella .i,'randis, new species. 

 Ceramoporellu ingenua. new species. 

 Monti<ulipora compacta. new species. 

 Monticulipora discula, new species. 

 Monticulipora Interslta, new species. 



In order to avoid complications of nomenclature by introducing new 

 names for the used but inipnblished ones the following given by Flricii 

 and Bassler were adopted: 

 *Anolotichea explanata. 

 ♦Mesotrypa cnistulata. 

 *]\Iesoti"ypfi (lubia. 

 *('onstellaria lamcUosa. 

 *Xicholsonella frondifera. 

 *Hallopora spissafa. 

 *Batostoma suberassinn. 



Batostoma dendroidea. , 



Bastostoma conferta. 



Batostoma iiuitilis. 

 * Stroma tot rypa la m rlhi ta. 

 *Khinidictya tahnJata. 

 *Stictoporella cribrilina. 



Photographs of those above marked with an asterisk (*) were furnished 

 by Dr. Bassler. The descriptions are the individual work of the writer 

 and wliei-e the new forms were independently recognized from his collections 

 a cotyiie was used. For the privilege to publish the descriptions of the new 

 sju'cies prepared by I'lrich and Bassler, which increa.ves the value of this 

 I>ai>er as a paleontological contril)ution, exi>ressions of gratitude are due to 

 Dr. flrich and Dr. Bassler.
