190 PALEONTOLOGY OF NEW YORK. 



both on account of its great size and length, and also of its curved form. The 

 latter feature, however, may have come from accidental causes. 



Formation and locality. The specimen figured is from the cabinet of Mr. 

 Paul Mohr, of Cincinnati, and was found in the Upper Helderberg limestone in 

 the eastern part of Indiana. 



Coleolus (Dentalium?) aciculatum.

 Dentalium aciculatum, Haix. Thirteenth Report N. Y. State Cab. Nat. Hist., p. 107. 1860. 



Form slender, elongate, cylindrical, tubular, very gradually attenuating from the 



base. 

 Surface striated ? 



* 



The specimens under examination are several fragments of longer tubes, but 

 there are no entire examples. Some of these are very slightly curved while 

 others are entirely straight, and it is possible that the curvature may be due 

 to accident. From the specimens examined no satisfactory determination of 

 the surface-markings can be made. 



Formation aud locality. In the Goniatite limestone of the Marcellus shale at 

 Manlius, N. Y. 



Coleolus ? gracilis, n. sp. 



PLATE XXXII A, FIG. 19. 



Form extremely attenuate, slightly curving, elongate, cylindro-conical, tubular. 

 Shell comparatively thick. 



Surface unknown, but apparently transversely striate. 



« 



All the fossils of this species which have come under my observation are 

 imbedded in a compact, calcareo-arenaceous rock, the shell adhering firmly to 

 the matrix, while the cast of the interior is all that can usually be seen. The 

 specimens observed are all slightly curved.
