GRAPTOLITES OF NEW YORK, PART 1 471 



parallel only in the ammonite zones of the Jurassic. Brogger recognized [1882] 

 a part of the zones in Norway. The presence of like associations and a similar 

 succession have, further, been recognized by Barrois [1892] in Languedoc 

 in southern France and by Kevforne in the Upper Siluric of Brittany [1901]. 

 The graptolite fauna of Bohemia has, in continuation of Barrande's work, 

 been exhaustively described by Perner. 



Hall records [1868, p.233] that in 1861 McCoy sent him a proof of a 

 plate of graptolites from the Palaeontology of Victoj^ia (Australia) with 

 illustrations of species identical with Normanskill forms. Before, however, 

 that work appeared, R. Etheridge jr [1874] had made us acquainted with 

 some of the Lower Siluric graptolites of Victoria. In decades 1, 2 and 5 

 of the prodromes of the Palaeontology of Victoria [1877-78] McCoy gave 

 detailed descriptions and illustrations of these interesting graptolites from the 

 auriferous shales of Victoria. Nearly all forms are identified with species 

 known from the American and British graptolite rocks; and one new genus, 

 Goniograptus, first discovered in Australia, has since been announced in the 

 same species from the Quebec rocks by Ami [1889] and from the Deep kill 

 by the present writer [1901]. 



In the last decade our knowledge of the faunas of the British graptolite 

 beds has been greatly augmented by the work carried on, under the safe 

 guidance of Lap worth, by Elles [1898]. These authors have now united and, 

 with the collaboration of Miss Wood^ have undertaken the arduous task of 

 monographing the British graptolites and of reproducing them by the most 

 exact illustration now obtainable. Two instalments of this monumental work 

 have already appeared. 



At the same time the stratigraphy of the English graptolite rocks has 

 been much furthered by the investigations of Man- [1889, 1894], who has 

 also extended his labors to the graptolite shales of Thuringia and the 

 Fichtelgebirge in Germany, the former field of Picliter''s discoveries, while 

 for the Welsh Upper Siluric a zonal mapping based upon graptolite zones 

 has been carried out by Piles [1900], Wood [1900] and H, Lapivorth [1900].
