210 PALEONTOLOGY OF THE EUREKA DISTRICT. 
Dalmanites (undt. sp.). 
At Comb’s Peak a small and very perfect glabella of a species of Dal- 
manites was found. It is quite distinct from the associated Dalmanites Meek, 
as the surface is finely granulose with larger granules irregularly inter- 
spersed; the determination of its specific relations is left until more material 
can be obtained. 
Genus PROETUS Steininger. 
Proetus Haldemani Hill.

pl. xxi, figs. 7, S, 9. 
Of this species the glabella and pygidium were alone obtained. The 
glabella varies from that of Proetus Haldemani in being more compressed 
and the pygidium in having one or two less annulations in the median lobe; 
otherwise they appear to be identical.

We fail to discover, on a direct comparison of specimens of Proetus 
marginalis, trom the Tully limestone of New York and entire specimens 
from Comb’s Peak, any characters that would warrant the separation of 
the latter as a distinct species. The most prominent variation is in the 
width and outline of the border of the head, but on examining the figures 
given by Professor Hall, on plate xxi (Illustrations of Devonian Fossils), 
quite as wide a variation is shown between figs. 25 and 26 as between indi- 
viduals from New York and Nevada. Continuing the comparison with
