SOME RECENT FINDS OF FOSSILIFEROUS DRIFT 
BOW LDERS, 
Since our October meeting a number of 
Drift bowlders containing fossils have been 
found, two of which deserve special mention, 
not only by reason of the well-preserved fos- 
sils contained in them, but also because eight 
of these are additions to our previously pub- 
lished lists. 
For the identification of species I am in- 
debted to Mr. Gilbert Van Ingen of Colum- 
bia University. 
1. Devonian (Oriskany) bowlder, found near 
Richmond: 
Eatonia peculiaris Conr, 
Meristella lata Hall. 
Metaplasia pyxidata Hall. 
Megalanteris ovalis Hall.*
