GUELPH FAUNA IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK IO7 



Niagaran dolomites at Fond du Lac Wis., and it is evidently closely related 

 toL. scalaris Jones of the upper or Manlius waterlimes at Buffalo and 

 elsewhere in Western New York. 



Leperditia sp. ? 



Another large species of this genus is present in the Rochester fauna, 

 but the examples observed are insufficient for its determination. It has 

 narrower and more elliptic valves, rounded extremities and a curving hinge 

 line. It may eventually prove to be the L. phaseolus Hisinger, var. 

 g u e 1 p h i c a Jones. 



A small Leperditia has been also noticed in the Lower Shelby dolomite.

The material of the Arey collection contains a few separated parts of 

 this species, all of the usual small size prevalent in the Rochester shales of 

 New York, the outcrops at Waldron and quite generally diffused in upper 

 Siluric strata. In the upper layers at Shelby all the specimens observed 

 attain much larger size than these. 



Dr Whiteaves reports the species as occurring in the Guelph at Gait. 

 It is also reported by Whitfield from Cedarville O., but does not seem to 

 occur in the Guelph of Wisconsin.
