13. Lingula mytiloides, Sowerby, or L. umbonata, Cox. (r)

26. Fusidina cylindrica, Fischer, (aa) 



27. Fusidina cylindrica, Fischer, var. ventricosa, M.^and H. ^c) 



28. Archxocidaris sp. , spines and plate, (r) 



29. ^rc7i«od(^am sp., very large spine, (rr) 



30. Chsetetes sp. (rr) 



31. Phillipsia major, Shumard (?). (rr) 



The glabella of the specimen. Although I have seen neither the figure 

 nor the description of the glabella of P. major, it seems probable from the 

 size and some other characteristics that it is this species. 



32. Crinoid, fragments of stem, (rr) 



Fauna of Bed 37 of Meek and Haydeii^s Section. — Meek and Hayden re- 

 ported at 56 i feet above high-water mark of the Kansas river, opposite 

 the mouth of the [Big] Blue river — 



' 'Alternations of dark gray and blue soft decomposing argillaceous limestone, with 

 dark laminated clays or soft shale containing great quantities of Fusulina cylindrica, 

 F. cylindrica, var. ventricosa, Discina manhattanensis, Chsetetes, and fragments of 

 Crinoids ; also Chonetes verneuiliana, C. mucronata, Productus splendens (?), Retzia 

 mormonii, Rhynchonella uta, Spirigera subtiUta, Spirifer cameratus, S. planoconvexa, 

 Eaomphalus near E. rugosus, and Synodadia biserialis; also Cladodus occidentalis.''^ 



This was number 37 of their section. 



Since the above was written changes in synonymy have referred Cho- 

 netes mucronata, M. and H., to C. granulifera, Owen. Productus splendens, 

 Norwood and Pratten, has been referred by Professor Meek and Dr White 

 to P. longisplnus, Sowerby. Dr Waagen has taken it for the type of the 

 group which he called Marginifera, and in the latest work of Professors 

 Hall and Clarke f it is called P. (^Marginifera) splendens, N. and P., and 

 Spirigera subtilita (Hall), M. and H., has been changed generically to 

 Athyris.
