ontologcn. [Figures and Descriptions of Characteristic Fossils.] 

 Part I. Lethaoa Palacozoica. Atlas, with 62 plates. 

 Text not yet published. Many new species figured, and some 

 new generic types both figured and defined. Salpitigostoma is pro- 

 posed for forms of Bellerophon in which the mouth is suddenly dilated, 

 and is applied to the penultimate volution without being penetrated by 

 it. The mouth is not notched behind ; but the last volution has a short 

 slit just before expanding into the mouth. Euomphalopteriis is founded 

 for Euomphali of the type of E. alatus, in which the outer edge of the 

 whorls is prolonged into a knife-like compressed border or alation, the 

 sharp edge of which is perforated with fine pores. Odontomaria is 

 proposed for Gasteropods resembling Pleurotomaria, but having the 

 shell unrolled, and forming a simply bent tube. H. A. N".

Three specimens from the Rhaetic insect-bed lying over the lower 



bone-bed breccia at Kralah near Hildesheim are figured and described. 



Two are named Elateropsis infraliassica and Helopides Hildesieyisis. 



The third is not generically determinable. G. A. L.

The copy examined bears upon its titlepage "Advance Copy, un- 

 revised by the Author." This may explain the fact that the figures in 

 the photographic plates are without numbers or names, and that there 

 are no explanations to the plates other than may be found in the text. 

 In the identification of species with forms described by previous writers, 

 with few exceptions, no synonymy is given. A large number of corals 

 from the Silurian and Devonian formations of Michigan are described 

 and figured, of which 77 are brought forward as new (see Index of 

 Species). The new genera Hoiightonia, Queiistedtia [preoccupied for a 

 genus of LameUibranchiata], and Vesicidaria [preoccupied for a genus 

 of Polyzoa] are proposed. H. A. N.
