 Fig. 1. >A septate fragment, showing- the rapid enlargement of the tube, and the depth of the air-chambers.

Orthoceras sceptrum.

 Fig. '2. An individual preserving a large portion of the chamber of habitation and about thirty air-cham- 

 bers. The specimen is an internal mould and shows an organic deposit in the air-chambers 

 toward the apex where the walls have been dissolved. The organic deposit is represented by 

 concavities in the filling of the air-chambers and increases in amount toward the apex. The 

 marked curvature of the tube is apparently normal and not the result of compression. 

 Upper Helderberg limestone. Cherry Valley, N. Y. 



Trochoceras (Gonioceras?) pandum.

 Fig. 3. A specimen preserving ten air-chambers, showing four very shallow chambers at the larger ex- 

 tremity and probably close to the chamber of habitation. 

 Fig. 4. Id. Section showing the lentiform transverse section of the tube. 



Fig. 5. The apical portion of an individual, showing the enlargement of the tube and the. shallow air- 

 chambers toward the apex, as mentioned in the description of the species. 

 Schoharie grit. Albany county, N. Y. 



Orthoceras directum.

 Fig. 6. An example preserving a large part of the chamber of habitation with twelve attached air-cham- 

 bers. The suture lines are deeply impressed from weathering and the solution of the septal 

 margins. 

 F'ig. 7. Id. Longitudinal sections, showing the septa to have been broken down and obliterated on the 

 interior of the tube, notwithstanding the marked indications of septa shown on the exterior of 

 the specimen.
