This memoir was noticed in the Am. Journ. Sci., vol. xlix, 2d series, p. 276, and attributed to 

 James Hall, although the work itself bears the name of no author. It does not appear that Prof.

 autuorship to be jointly with Prof. Hall and himself. See Ann. Rep. Wiaconsin Oenl. Sur. 1878, p. 

 51, and Paleontology of Wisconsin (now in press), pp. 136, 137, and 138. — Genera Palceaneilo, Limo-

Mr. D.ale announces the discovery of weIl-kno^vn species of fossils of the Trenton period in 

 rocks at Poughkeepsie .ind on the west side of the Hudson Eiver immediately opposite that place. 

 This two-page 8vo slip appears as an extract froiu the Proc. Pough. Acad. Nat. Sci., under date of 

 December 4, 1878, but it bears no pagination or reference to the number of the volume. I am in- 

 formed by Mr. Dale that it will appear in "Part I of Vol. II, 1878-79." The same facts are em- 

 bodied in an article by the same author in the January (1879) number of jim. Journ. Sci.
