Camhro-Ordovician Section in the Bcaverfoot Ramje. 455 



and Golden City." The exact locality is in the bed of the creek, 

 just west of Glcnogle, a way-station about 7 miles east of Golden. 



The Graptolite Shales at this point were discovered by McConnell ^ 

 in his study of the section along the 51st parallel. The graptolites 

 were turned over to Lapworth, who contributed a note regarding 

 their identification and correlation, which was embodied in 

 McConnell's report. The locality was correctly described by 

 McConnell, but Lapworth 's note made the mistake of listing the 

 fauna as occurring at " Kicking Horse (Wapta) Pass ", and this 

 error has been perpetuated in all subsequent references to the fauna. 

 There are no rocks younger than the lower part of the Upper 

 Cambrian at Kicking Horse Pass, and the latter locality is about 

 25 miles in a direct line north-east of the locality from which the 

 graptolites were secured. Along the right-of-way the distance is 

 even greater, rising to 45 miles. 



§ 9. Lapworth ^ identified the following species :— 



JDidymogra'ptus n.sp. (cf. D. etwdus Lapworth). 



Glossograptiis ciliatus Emmons. 



G. spinidosus (Hall) [ ^Glossograptus ciliatus Emmons]. ^ 



Crijpiograptus tricornis (Carruthers). 



Dipilogra ptus avgusfifolius Hall [== Diplograptus (Glyptograpfus) 

 angustifolius (Hall)]. 



D. rugostis Emn^ons [= Diplograptus foliaceus (Murchison)]. 



Climacograptus caelatus Lapworth [= Climacogmptus antiqtius 

 Lapworth]. 



Phyllograptiis or Lasiograpttis sp. 



Lapworth^ referred the fossils from Glen ogle ^ to the "age of 

 the Utica slate, or, at any rate, to the Trenton-Utica fauna of the 

 United States and Canada", and suggested that they might be a little 

 older than the Normanskill fauna. In 1889 Lapworth ^ describes a 

 graptolite fauna collected by Dawson on Dease River as identical 

 with the one j)reviously described from Glenogle and confirms his 

 previous determination as to their being a little older than the 

 Normanskill, but places them in the Black River-Trenton instead 

 of the Utica or the Trenton-Utica. 



§ 10. Gurley '^ places both faunas in the Chazy in the following 

 words : " Somewhere between the Dichograpsus fauna, characteristic 

 of the Calciferous, and the Dicellogmpsus fauna, characteristic of 

 the (certainly pre-Utican and probably) Trenton, are to be placed 

 the faunas " occurring at Glenogle and on the Dease River.
