 from southwestern Colorado. The 

 fauna of the Ouray limestone. 



20th Ann. Rep. I'. S. Geo!. Surv., 1900, pp. 

 25-81, pis. 3-7. 



Describes the basal Upper Devonian faunas 

 of southwestern Colorado, a part of which 

 had heretofore been regarded as of Carbon- 

 iferous age. The author concludes that the 

 Ouray limestone fauna mostly resembles the 

 'Athabasca fauna described by Whiteaves, 

 which he justly concludes to be of about the 

 same age as the Tully limestone of the New- 

 York section.'

Gives the habits and life history of this spe- 

 cies as observed by Mr. Heidemann on stems 

 of chrysanthemums and on the rag weed 

 (Ambrosia artemisistfolia) . Another species, 

 Clastoptera obtusa Say, has been observed by 

 Dr. J. A. Lintner, and also by the writer, liv- 

 ing upon black alder. Reference is made to 

 the literature on spittle insects and to the 

 common beliefs and superstitions at one time 

 held by people in regard to the origin of the 

 spittle-like masses. 



The plate figures the insect in its different 

 stages, a chrysanthemum branch with the 

 mass of "spittle," and the anal segments of 

 the insect with the aperture as it appears 

 when open and closed.
