Fig. 94. PaJaeosdheUa jyyisca (MeCoj). Copy of the original figure. 



Fig. 95. The same in the shell of the brachiopod Spirifer from the Chemung 

 group (Upper Devonian). 



Fig. 96. Similar clavate tubes in the brachiopod Leptostrophia. Oriskany sand- 

 stone (Lower Devonian). 



Fig. 97. Sketch of Palaeosabella tubes converging from the margin toward the 

 thickened apex of the brachiopod Spirifer. 



Fig. 98. A similar sketch to show the bend in the tube where the shell is 

 thickest. Hamilton group (Middle Devonian). 



Fig. 99. The bivalve Aviculopecten with borings all beginning at a definite 

 growth-stage of the shell, outside of which the shell is regular, indicating that 

 the mollusk was alive when the borings were started and continued to live 

 while they were making. Chemung group (Upper Devonian). 



Fig. 100. The sponge here started in the thickened apical substance of the shell 

 of a brachiopod (Leptostrophia) and as it entered the thinner part of the shell 

 was forced to take on a flattened form. At the inner end it shows a tendency 

 to divide. 



Fig. 101. A hook-shaped boring in the east of a brachiopod. Oriskany sandstone 

 (Lower Devonian). 



Fig. 102. A set of clavate borings in the brachiopod Leptoeoelia. Oriskany 

 sandstone. 



Fig. 103. A series of these tubes beginning at the margin of the discinoid brachi- 

 opod Orbiculoidea. Lower Devonian. Sao Paulo, Brazil.
