Eyerman, John. Footprints ou the Triassic Saudstoue (Jura-Trias) 

 of ISTew Jersey. (Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xxxi, p. 72. January, 

 1886. New Haven.) 



Related to Anomcepus major of Hitchcock, in size and characters. From near

Faber, Charles L. Remarks on some fossils of the Cincinnati group. 

 (Jour. Cincinnati Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. ix, pp. 14-20, PI. i. April, 1886. 

 Cincinnati.) 



Describes the new genus Lepidocoleus as distinct from PlumuUles, Barrande, 

 with L. Jamcsi (Hall & Whitfield), Faber as the type. Describes also the 

 new species: Cijclocyslohles nitidiis, Ci/rtoceras teniiiseptam, and gives a de- 

 scription of the genus Merocrinus, Walcott, and Merocrinus curtus (Ulrich), 

 Faber. 



FiLHOL, H. Observations sur le memoire de M. Cope intitule relations 

 des horizons renfermant des debris d'animaux vertebras fossiles en 

 Europe et en Amerique. (Ann. Sci. Geol., vol. xvii, pp. 1-16. Ad- 

 denda. PI. vi., 1885. Paris.) 



Considers that Anajytomorph us and Necrolemur, which Mr. Cope had thought 

 might be identical, although evidently belonging to the same group of 

 Lemuroids, are too diftereut to be joined zoologically under the same name. 

 Mr. Cope says " that the Ry rachitis is the American Lophiodon, for there are 

 oul}^ slight dili'ereuccs between them; both exist in France, the second in 

 the lower Parisian, the first in the Phosphorites."' The present author 

 thinks it probable that the Hi/rachiiis, animals descending from the Lopthi- 

 odon, lived both on the old and new continent and were represented in 

 France by four species, H. prisons, II. Donvillei, H. Zeilleri, and H. interme- 

 dins. 

 Future discoveries will enable us to understand the changes effected in the 

 Hyrachius, which must have modified themselves progressively to give birth 

 to the Tapirs.

 (Amer. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xxxr, pp. 466, 467, Figs. 1, 2. June,

Ford, S. W. Note on the recently proposed genus Billingsia. (Amer. 

 Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xxxii, p. 325, October, 1886. New Haven.) 

 Substitutes the name Elkania, based upon Mr. Billings's Christian name Elkanah, 

 to Billingsia, preoccupied by de Koniuck.

 age.
