fossils from a drift bowlder and gave the following account ot 
the same: 
Mr. C. S. Egbert in excavating a foundation for a house at 
Fort Wadsworth station on the Rapid Transit Railroad, on the 
north side of the Fingerboard Road, and a few hundred feet 
northeast of the station, uncovered a bowlder of Oriskany Sand- 
stone which upon examination by Mr. Wm. T. Davis proved 
to be of great interest. It was a compact mass of fossils rep- 
resenting over twenty species characteristic of that horizon, of 
which fourteen were new to our list previously published (Extra 
No. 6, March, 1887.) Amongst these were some of considerable 
rarity, and while many were in a fragmentary condition or 
preserved as impressions only, they were all unmistakably 
identified, and form a valuable addition to our palaeontological 
possessions. 
The list of new additions is as follows : 
Pholidops arenaria, Hall. 
Streptorhynchus hipparionyx^ Vanuxem. 
Strophodojita magnifica. Hall. 
Chonetes campalnaUis, Hall. 
LeptcBna nudeata, Hall. 
Spirifera pyxidata. Hall. 
Lcptoccelia flab el lite s, Conrad. 
Eatonia pecnliaris, Conrad. 
Rennsselaeria oroides, Eaton. 
Pterinea Gebhardi, Hall. 
textile. Hall. 
Aviculopecten rectirostris, Hall. 
Platyceras nodosum, Conrad. 
Platyostoma ventricosum. Hall, 
Mr. Arthur HoUick exhibited mounted specimens of new 
or noteworthy additions to the local flora and read the follow- 
ing memoranda in connection with them: 
Since the fourth appendix to the Flora of Richmond County 
was published, about two years since, there have been many 
plants found which require recording. The full list, containing 
thirty-six species and varieties new in our Island's flora, will 
be published as usual in the ^«//^//« of the Torrey Botanical 
Club, as the fifth appendix. Reprints of the same will be dis- 
tributed to all those desiring them. Memoranda in regard to 
some of the species have been published in our Proceedings,
