parison with the two types of this species in the State Museum, 

 shows that the Gaspe and Waldron forms are specifically different, 

 the Gaspe form being coarser and the apparent cells larger. Since 



Chaunograptus gracilis 



no other form of this still problematic group of supposed repent 

 graptolites is known, the Gaspe form is apparently new. 



Its characters are : Conchiolinous, delicate, frequently and ir- 

 regularly branching fronds, which are closely attached to foreign 

 bodies and consist of curved, commalike bottle-shaped cells or 

 branch segments, which are 1.4 mm long and .3 mm wide in the:r 

 distal part and bud in such a fashion from the preceding that the 

 tranches become slightly zigzag-shaped.
