12 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 127 
Virginia and Alabama formations with the exception that certain forms occurring 
in Newfoundland, such as the trilobite Ectenonotus, have never been seen in the 
Appalachians. The brachiopods apparently form a homeomorphous series when 
compared to those of the Appalachians. The small orthids, for example, prove 
to belong to Archaeorthis. Hesperonomiella seems to be present and numerous 
others not yet described that look like higher genera but when examined on the 
interior prove to have relationships to types that lived in late Canadian or in 
Whiterock time. 
In the present paper I have included only the few Newfoundland species for 
which good material was at hand. Genera other than those here recorded are 
represented. For example, Rhysostrophia is a not uncommon genus, but the 
National Collections are not provided with good specimens. 
The elements of the Table Head fauna are known elsewhere in Quebec, New 
York, and Nevada. In Quebec some of the boulders of the Mystic conglomerate, 
the youngest boulders yet found, contain many elements and even actual species 
of the Table Head of Newfoundland. A small Rhysostrophia suggestive of the 
Table Head one is present; Pleurorthis is common to both, as is Ptychoglyp- 
tus (2). Also common to Newfoundland and Quebec are Idiostrophia and 
Orthidium. 
Genera common to the Table Head of Newfoundland and the upper Pogonip 
of Nevada are: Idiostrophia, Orthidium, Rhysostrophia, Hesperonomiella, 
Aporthophyla and Porambonites ?. The trilobite Ectenonotus is common to 
Nevada, Quebec, and Newfoundland. 
LONG POINT SERIES 
This name is applied to the 1,500 feet of section exposed at Long Point in 
southwestern Newfoundland with thin-bedded, greenish-gray, calcareous, rippled 
sandstones and siltstones and zones of greenish shale in the upper part; greenish- 
gray calcareous shale interbedded with limy sandstone and sandy limestone in 
the middle part; and thin-bedded sandy limestone with oolitic limestone and 
intraformational conglomerate and some heavier beds at the base. Brachiopods 
listed from the series are: 
Camerella aff. C. volborthi Billings 
Dalmanella rogata (Sardeson) 
Dinorthis aff. D. iphigenia (Billings) 
Glyptorthis bellarugosa (Conrad) 
G. cf. G. crispata (McCoy) 
Hesperorthis aff. H. tricenaria (Conrad) 
Rafinesquina alternata (Conrad) = R. trentonensis (Conrad) 
R. aff. R. deltoidea (Conrad) 
R. aff. R. minnesotensis = Opikina 
Sowerbyella sericea ? (Sowerby) 
S. aff. S. undulata (Salter) 
Triplesia extans (Emmons)
