The cell apertures open more directly with the plane of the surface in. 
the Nevada specimens than in those from the Chemung Group of Iowa, but 
otherwise there is a marked specifie similarity and a provisional reference 
is made to A. Rockfordensis, of the species from Nevada. 
Formation and locality—Upper horizon of the Devonian limestone, on 
ridge east of Yahoo Canon, Eureka District, Nevada.

The Eureka specimens although occurring in the upper beds of the 
Devonian are closely related to the Upper Helderberg species, C. pulchra, 
and appear to be specifically identical with it. The obtaining of more and 
better-preserved examples may prove the two forms to be specifically dis- 
tinct, but with our present knowledge a separation does not appear to be 
necessary.

Cladopora, sp. (und’t). 
This is a larger branching form of which worn sections alone have 
been obtained. It occurs in the central or lower portion of the Devonian 
formation west of Spring Valley. 
Numerous fragments of an imperfectly-preserved species of Cladopora 
occur in the silicious Devonian limestone; the stems are usually about 5™™ 
in diameter and associated with a species of Stromatopora in such quanti- 
ties as to characterize many beds where other fossils are wanting. 
Thecia ramosa Rominger? 1876. Geol. Surv. Michigan, vol. iii, pt. 2, p. 69. 
This rare and interesting form occurs in the lower portion of the De- 
vonian, corresponding to its position in the Upper Helderberg limestones at 
the Falls of the Ohio, and in the State of Michigan. Dr. Rominger 
describes it as formed of “‘stout, branching, sometimes reticulated, anasto- 
mosing stems, from half an inch to two inches in diameter, composed of 
thick-walled, conico-cylindrical tubes ascending and diverging from a cen- 
tral imaginary axis. Orifices unequal, of polygonal form, from one to two 
millimeters wide at the edges of the dilated margins, radiated by twelve
