from the Upper Helderberg through the Hamilton and into the Chemung 
Group. Its geographic range also includes the Province of Ontario, Can- 
ada, and the States of Illinois and Iowa. 
Formation and localities —Devonian limestone, Comb’s Peak and Newark 
Mountain, Eureka District; Lone Mountain, 18 miles northwest of Eureka, 
Nevada.

This species has usually been considered a Lower Helderberg form, 
although, as stated by Professor Hall, Mr. Billings, and Professor Nicholson, 
it is closely allied to, if not identical with S. ampla, of the Upper Helder- 
berg and Hamilton Groups. The Nevada specimens show a convex dorsal 
valve, slightly concave about the umbo, with strong radiating striz and 
punctate surface, the latter showing where the surface is covered with fine 
concentric strize. The Nevada shell is not referable to 8. ampla, as found 
in New York, and as it approaches S. punctulifera very closely the reference 
is made to that species. 
Formation and locality—-Lower horizon of the Devonian limestone, 
Lone Mountain,-18 miles northwest of Kureka, Nevada.

A comparison with specimens from Rockford, lowa shows the Nevada 
shell to be less convex than the average examples, but not less so than some. 
It agrees otherwise in nearly every particular. 
Formation and locality—Devonian limestone, south spur of Atrypa Peak, 
Eureka District. Nevada.
