EARLY DEVONIC HISTORY OF NEW YORK AND EASTERN NORTH AMERICA 233 



Palaeopinna flabellum Hall ? 



Si'e plate 21, figures 1-5 



We have noticed the presence of this Oriskany species in the St Alban 

 and Grande Greve limestones and we have before us a fragment from the 

 Gaspe sandstone which suggests the same species. It is smaller than the 

 others but presents the similar characters of hinge and the broad posterior 

 extension. 



Locality. Portage road, Gaspe Basin. 



Nuculites triquetrus (Conrad) Hall

This is the most abundant of the pelecypods in the sandstone and is in 

 all respects identical with the New York specimens, which are common at 

 many outcrops of the Hamilton shales. 



Locality. Portage road and on the south side of the Southwest Arm, 

 3 miles from Gaspe Basin.

A single external and internal cast of this species abundant in the more 

 arenaceous shales of the Hamilton group of New York has been found in 

 the Gaspe sandstone. 



Locality. Gaspe Mountain. 



Palaeoneilo cf. constricta (Conrad)

See Palaeoneilo constricta (Conrad) Hall. Palaeontology of New York, 

 1885. V. 5, pt I, p. i,zi, pi. 48, fig. 1-16; pi. 51, fig. 17 



Shells having the short erect figure and broad posterior incurvature and 

 fold of this species occur in the sandstone. Palaeoneilo constricta 

 is found in the Hamilton shales of central and western New York and in 

 the soft Angola (Portage) shales of Lake Erie. 



Locality. Portage road, Gaspe Basin.
