unfortunate for any paleontologist who may in future have occa- 
sion to consult the paper or to identify kindred forms. 
The paper will constitute No. 4 of Vol. 1v of the Transactions 
of the St. Louis Academy of Sciences. Much. careful study is 
exhibited in the details of the paper, and it is only to be regretted 
that the material at hand was of such imperfect nature. 
The author regards the genus Inocaulis as a diprionidian grap- 
tolite, having found the axis central in specimens of 7. plumulosus, 
this indicating a cellular system on both sides the stipe, although 
there is no distinct evidence of the lateral cells. 
The genus Cyclograptus is established for a single discoid spe- 
cies with radiating stipes having central solid axes. This form is 
particularly interesting from its resemblance to the types of the 
Quebec group. 
_A large Conularia is described under the name C. magnifica, 
similar to but much larger than C. niagarensis, The specimen, if 
_ perfect, would be twenty-four centimeters lon 
g. 
The author informs us that “ the long buried treasures of the 
e geological survey of the State” (Missouri) have been un-

It would be of value to science if some future Bulletin of the 
Museum would publish a list of the species contained in the 
museum which served as types for the numerous species described 
by Messrs. Shumard, Swallow, Norwood and others from the

the conclusion that the whole of the crystalline schists within the 
Sranulite area are metamorphosed Palæozoic sediments,
