ing pure chitin, but also in their entire internal make-up and with 

 their original color such as is characteristic of living representatives. 



AUSTRO-RUSSIAN BORDER LANDS 



Siluric. Upper Siluric of Podolia and Galicia. From various 

 localities, mainly in Galicia, Austria, but occasionally from Podolia, 

 Russia, a few fragments of Eurypterus fischeri are reported, together 

 with specimens determined with difficulty to be Pterygotus osiliensis, 

 and also three telsons of specifically unidentifiable Stylonurus. 



Devonic. Middle Devonic of Galicia. A single telson of a Ptery- 

 gotus species has been found by Siemiradzki in the Devonic coral 

 limestone of Skala, Valencia (263). 



AUSTRALIA 



Siluric. Upper Siluric. Professor McCoy has reported (168) 

 the finding by Mr. F. Spry of four eurypterid remains in the Upper 

 Silurian rocks underlying Melbourne. These rocks have been corre- 

 lated by McCoy with the Victorian series. The matrix in which the 

 merostome fragments were found is described as resembling very 

 closely the black flaggy layers of the uppermost Ludlow of Les- 

 mahagow, Scotland, while the eurypterid found there seems to have 

 its closest affinities to Pterygotus bilobus. The specimen figured is 

 fragmentary, but apparently of a eurypterid, which McCoy has 

 referred to Pterygotus australis. 



GERMANY 



Carbonic. Middle Saarbriicker. In the Saarbriicken" basin" of 

 Germany the Carbonic has been divided into two parts, the upper 

 or Ottweiler with grey and red sandstone at the top and grey shale 

 and sandstone below containing Pecopteris arborensis, Estheria, 

 Leaia baentschiana and fish remains; and the lower or coal-bearing 

 Saarbriicken beds containing in their middle members abundant 

 plant remains and two eurypterid species. Arthropleura armata 

 Jordan is represented by two or three abdominal segments found in 

 the beds in the Friedrichsthal tunnel two miles from Saarbriicken, 

 where in the same beds are plant remains of Lepidophyllum lineare 

 Brong., and Anthracosaurus raniceps, Dictyoneura blattina and other 

 insects. In the railroad shaft at Jagersfreude, f of a mile from Saar- 

 briicken, one incomplete individual of a form called by Jordan Adelop- 

 thalmus (Eurypterus) granosus has been found (135).
