328 C. SCHUCHERT — LOWEK BELDERBERG-ORISKANY FORMATIONS 



occurs in the upper part of the limestones, is met with at 1,100 feet above the base 

 of the sandstone series. This fact, together with the constancy in the lithological 

 characters of the latter, make it not improbable that at least this lower portion of 

 the sandstones, will ultimately be classed with the Oriskany formation " (p. 403). 



Ells* also regards "divisions 7 and 8" as Oriskany, since he says 

 that — 



" We have therefore drawn the dividing line between the two systems to reach 

 the coast at Cape Gaspe, by which the passage beds [divisions 4, 5, 6 of Logan] 

 will be placed as the upper portion of the Lower Helderberg, while numbers 7 and 

 8 of the scale (vol. ii, Pal. Foss.), will be assigned to the lower part of Lower 

 Devonian." 



New Brunswick, Canada. — In New Brunswick, there is another area of 

 Upper Oriskany on Campbell river, which is described by Bailey j as 

 follows : 



" A small area of soft, dark blue, calcareous slates, and soft, dark gray, rusty buff 

 weathering sandstones referable to this age [Oriskany] occurs on Campbell river." 



From this locality Doctor H. M. Ami has identified the following 

 forms : 



Stropheodonta magnified Hall. 

 IStropheodonla van 'striata Conrad? 

 Leptsena rhomboidalis Wilckens. 

 Hipparionyx proximus Vanuxem. 

 Orthis cfr. obfata Hall. 

 A noplotheca jiabellites ( Conrad) . 



Eatonia. 



Spirifer murchisoni Castelnau. 

 Spirifer sp. undet. 

 Actinopteria textUis Hall. 

 Megambonia ? 



Oriskany fauna of Gaspe, Canada. — This is " bed 8 " of Billings. The 

 specific names in parentheses are Appalachian equivalents. Species 

 with an * also occur in the " Gaspe sandstone " above " division 8."
