 phyllum proliferum^ Favosites Chapmani, Platyceras uniseriale, Stro- 

 phostylas (?) suhylobosus, S. (?) ovatus, S. (?) obliquus, Holopea Uriensis,

 the Calcispongke, and some additional details with regard to Stroma- 

 topora tahercidata and S. gramdata. Describes two fresh species,

Proposes and describes two new genera of the family Fenestellidce 



under the names Cryptopora and Oannopora. The species upon which 



these genera are founded are termed Cryptopora mirabilis and Carino- 



pora Bindei, both from the Corniferous Limestone of Western Ontario.

 The name of Duiicanella is proposed for certain small simple corals 

 from the Niagara Formation of Indiana, U. S. The corallum is conical, 

 free, and non-adherent, with septa in multiples of six, no columella, 

 and a well-developed epitheca. The epitheca is deficient proximally, 

 and leaves a small circular aperture from which the septa protrude in 

 the form of a small cone. No tabula or dissepiments are present. The 

 genus appears to be most nearly related to the Turbinolidce ; and the 

 only known species is described as Diuicanella borealis. H. A. N.
