MISSISSIPPIAN OF PHELPS COUNTY, MISSOURI 563 



At the outset it was realized that in order to get decisive 

 results the faunas of each individual bowlder must be kept together 

 so that the natural association of species might be determined. 

 This has been done, and a record of the localities from which the 

 individual bowlders have come has also been kept. The original 

 collection of the School of Mines was made without regard to the 

 first factor and with but slight regard to the second, so that, while 

 it contains many fine specimens which have been of great value in 

 making comparisons, it has been useless for exact stratigraphic 

 purposes. The collections of the Missouri Survey and those made 

 by the writer were made with both of the above-mentioned points 

 in view, and all of the conclusions drawn from this study are based 

 upon the faunas which they have yielded. Numbers have been 

 assigned to the several localities from which collections have been 

 made, and these, together with the location, are given in the accom- 

 panying list.

Lee's map shows the location of most of the localities listed 

 above. 



The oldest Mississippian fauna which this area has yielded is 

 contained in the bowlder of pink chert, mentioned on page 561. 

 The bowlder is case-hardened and stained with iron oxide to the
