44 CONTHIBUTIONS TO CANADIAN PALEONTOLOGY. 



ing spaces are oroased by horizontal diaphragms somewhat stouter than, 

 but at about the same distance apart as, the tabulae and showing the 

 same irregularities of growth. The longitudinal ridges appear on the 

 ■outer surface of the walls, in the spaces between the corallites, as costse ; 

 they pass over the edges of the calyces and connect with correspond- 

 ing ridges in contiguous corallites. The oo.stal ridges at the surface, 

 when the corallites are separate, extend radially but a very short distance, 

 about -5 mm. beyond the confines of the calyces, leaving the surface of 

 the corallum between the corallites smooth ; this intercalicular surface is 

 •at times marked by obscure, contiguous, polygonal outlines surrounding 

 individual corallites, but no trace of this demarcation is seen in transverse 

 or longitudinal sections. The edges of the calyces are but slightly 

 -elevated above the intercalicular surface and in worn specimens appear 

 as smooth raised rings. No definite traces of a basal epitheca have been 

 ■detected. 



Calapoecia Canadensis occurs in the Birdseye and Black River, and 

 Hudson River formations. In the former it is found in the Ottawa district 

 and in the latter on the islands at the north end of Lake Huron, on Snake 

 Island, Lake St. John, Que., and on the Island of Anticosti; it is also 

 found in the Galena-Trenton limestone of the Lake Winnipeg district and 

 of the region to the north. Specimens have been collected at the follow- 

 ing localities and have been available for study and comparison. In the

The large number of specimens of this genus obtained of late years, and 

 now in the collection of the survey, have convinced the writer that G. 

 Canadensis and C ffuronensis cannot be retained as distinct species
