I am disposed to identify with this well known Coblentzian 

 species a small trihedral Nucula of great obliquity and prominent 

 overarching beaks. 



Lower Devonic. Presque Isle stream, Chapman Plantation, Me. 



Palaeoneilo (Nuculites) foUes nov. 



This is a species of the type of Nuculites branneri Clarke 

 from the Maecuru river^ and Cucullella ovata Sow. from 

 the Tilestones of Horeb ChapeP but while it approaches both of 

 these very closely there is only the barest indication in the speci- 

 mens before us of the anterior clavicle shown by a slender de- 

 pression in the sculpture casts while the other characters of the 



Palaeoneilo (Nuculites) folles 



shell are those of Palaeoneilo, even to the presence of a slight 

 posterior sinuosity or oblique depression which brings it into com- 

 parison with P. o r b i g n y i Clarke from Maecuru^ in which the 

 surface is covered with very fine concentric lines, and with a num- 

 ber of more coarsely marked sinuous species from the Coblentzian.
