FORMATIONS OF DEVONIAN AGE. 105 
‘The fossils of the formation are never well preserved, and in most 
localities they are rarely met with, only two localities having afforded 
material sufficiently well preserved for identification. 
Locality 87 B.—The fossils from this locality were collected on top 
of the ridge west of the southern portion of Greenwood lake. They 
occur in the upper portion of the formation, and the following species 
have been identified: 
1. Orthothetes pandora (Bill). 
. Chonetes arcuata Hall. 
. Amphigenia elongata (Van.). 
. Spirifer macrothyris Hall. 
. Cyrtina hamiltonensis Hall. 
. Anoplotheca acutiplicata (Con.). 
. Actinopteria decussata Hall. 
Locality 145 A.—At Newfoundland, about 300 yards east of Cham- 
berlain’s Hotel, the lower beds of this formation outcrop in a field. 
Fossils occur somewhat commonly, but, on account of the matrix 
in which they are imbedded, it is exceedingly difficult to make a 
large collection of them. The following species have been identified : 
1. Zaphrentis sp. undet. 
. Stropheodonta inequiradiata Hall. 
. Schizophoria sp. cf. S. striatula (Schl.). 
. Amphigenia elongata (Van.). 
. Sprifer macrothyris Hall. 
. Spirifer sp. undet. 
. Cyrtina hamiltonensis Hall. 
8. Pterinea flabella (Con.). 
The composition of the fauna of the Newfoundland grit at both of 
these localities is essentially that of the Onondaga limestone of the 
New York section. In a former preliminary report upon the Green 
Pond mountain region* it was stated that the fauna contained a mix- 
ture of Oriskany and Onondaga species, but a more careful study of 
the material has failed to establish a single Oriskany species in the 
fauna. The specimens formerly identified provisionally as Spirifer 
arenosus and Spirifer murchisont (= 8. arrectus) prove not. to be 
these species. The presence of horn corals in some abundance is 
another character of the fauna which tends to disprove its Oriskany 
relationships. Two species in the fauna, Pterinea flabella and Actinop-
