A few specimens have been found, internal and external casts, which 

 cannot be readily distinguished from this species from the Hamilton shales 

 of New York. 



Locality. Portage road, Gaspe Basin. 



Lunulicardium ? convexum nov. 



Plate 23, figure 12 



Cardiiform, beak anterior, outline obliquely orbicular. Surface convex, 

 elevated about the umbo, which is full and overarched, abruptly deflected 

 on the anterior slope. Anterior marginal curve at first concave, thence 

 rounding rather abruptly at the extremity, posterior curve much broader 

 and postlateral surface somewhat expanded. Surface bearing round, thread- 

 like and simple radii separated by very narrow sulci. On the single right 

 valve observed there are 26-28 of these radii which extend over the entire 

 surface. 



Length and hight equal. 



This is a small shell which, with the general aspect of a Lunulicardium, 

 fails to reveal the critical structural features of that genus. 



Locality, Portage road, Gaspe Basin. 



Cryptonella sp. 

 A single internal cast of a ventral valve from the Portage road.

Eatonia peculiaris Conrad 



Plate 29, figures i, 2 



This species I have found in a few entirely characteristic examples on 

 the south side of the Southwest Arm of Gaspe Bay about three miles from 

 Lobster Point. The rock itself was found loose but the outcrops are at 

 hand and as they lie only a comparatively short distance from the Haldimand
