 the Transactions of the Albany Institute. June, 1879. 



The fossils described are from Oneida county. N. Y. In the discussion of the Utica 

 slate the author reaches the conclusion that the Galena limestone is its northwestern 

 representasive. The author gives a complete tabulation of the fossils occurring in the 

 Utica slate, with references to the literature where described. This table also shows 

 their extension into the Hudson River formation above and into the Trenton below. 

 Another table shows the number of species that had been found respectively in the Utica 

 slate and in the Galena, and the numerical range of the same into the Trenton and the 

 Hudson River. This view of Mr. Walcott will be considered further in another place 

 inasmuch as our studies do not tend toward the same result.*
