from the Patoot beds of Greenland. It was subsequently found to 
be exceedingly abundant in the uppermost Raritan beds of New 
Jersey* and it has been recorded from this same horizon on Long 
Island as well as from a probable Magothy horizon on Block Island. 
It has been recently found in considerable abundance near the 
top of the Magothy formation at Little Round Bay on the Severn 
River in Anne Arundel County, Md.
