This is an importan nt paper, containing dene ron of many new species, 
with an serge of others identified with forms known in the Kansas 
rocks, and of a few which are, by the ae supposed to be identical 
with foreign species ; it is also illustrated by an peo ag plate of twenty-

Most of these fossils are ao an extensive desta @ of white limestone, 
and inferior beds of sandstone and darker colored limestone, in the Gua-
