GRAPTOLITES OF NEW YORK, PART 2 $7 



curtus in nearly all of them. One of the most important of these 

 faunules is that from the Rural cemetery near Albany. It consists of: 



Mastigograptus circinalis sp. nov. G. ? eucharis ( H all) 



Corynoides curtus Lapworth Climacograptus putillus ( Hall) 



Glossograptus quadrimucronatus var. cor- 

 nutus nov. 



This interesting faunule stands apart from all others by the peculiar 

 and striking- variety of G. quadrimucronatus and by Mastigo- 

 graptus circinalis, two forms that have not been found elsewhere, 

 while on the other hand Climacograptus typical is is entirely 

 absent. It most probably represents a separate subzonal association. 



The other localities as e. g. the Penitentiary at Albany and Black creek 

 at Voorheesville have furnished : 



Corynoides curtus Lapworth Climacograptus typicalis Hall 



Glossograptus quadrimucronatus ( Hall) C. putillus ( Hall) 



G. ? eucharis ( Hall) 



This faunule can be considered as a typical one for the Utica shale of 

 this belt. 



The transition beds from the Trenton limestone to the Utica shale 

 exposed at the lake shore at Panton, Vt., consisting of alternating lime- 

 stones and shales which contain in the limestones a Trenton and in the 

 shales a Utica fauna, have furnished to the writer : 



Corynoides curtus Lapworth Climacograptus putillus (Hall) 



Glossograptus quadrimucronatus (Hall) Lasiograptus bimucronatus mut. timidus 



G. ? eucharis (Hall) nov. 



These forms are among the earliest of the Utica graptolite fauna. 

 Climacograptus typicalis seems to come in a little later. 



A tunnel of the New York and Lake Erie Railroad being constructed 

 at Otisville through the Shawangunk mountains at the New York and New 

 Jersey boundary has furnished to the writer from shale, directly underlying 

 the Upper Siluric Shawangunk grit, besides specimens of Schizocrania
