PALÉOZOOLOGIE ET PALÉOPHYTOLOGIE 59 



A number of land mollusks, previously reportée! from loess deposits in lowa, 

 are recorded for the first time from Illinois deposits, showing that the life 

 of the lowan loess is widely distributed. A fauna from mari deposits near 

 Morris, Grundy Co., 111., collected by Mr. H. E. Gulver of the Illinois State 

 Geological Survey, is also described, indicating that the fauna in the Glacial 

 Lake Chicago deposits migrated up the Illinois and Des Plaines Rivers.

Describes a mari deposit on the campus of the University of Illinois in 

 which is found a varied fauna of molluscan hfe, indicating that the climate 

 was colder than that of to day. Of the twenty species identified four now live 

 in the same territory, ten in the same latitude, eight are not now living in the 

 state, and four are extinct. The faune is similar to that found in northern 

 Wisconsin and Michigan. Two new forms are hsted, Planorbis parvus urba- 

 iiensis, and Planorbis allissimus. A fauna of somewhat later âge is described 

 from deposits along the Sangamon River, ten miles west of Urbana.
