of black shale of the Shawangunk grit with indeterminable patches suggestive but 
not demonstrative of eurypterid integument. (See Appendix). 
From the National Museum are three lots. The first, two split pieces of one slab 
of waterlime, is from the Salina of Selinsgrove Junction, Pa., and exhibits segments 
which suggest an Eurypterus, like E. remipes. This occurrence was recorded by 
Schuchert in 1903 [Lower Devonic and Ontaric Formations of Maryland, p. 416]. In 
character of the rock and the association of these remains with large Leperditias this 
slab is very like the Bertie waterlime. 
The second lot consists of ‘‘ black shale interbedded in the Keefer sandstone member 
of the McKenzie formation (basal Cayugan), Lock 53, 4 or 5 miles above Hancock, Md.” 
The shale and the mode of preservation of the fossils here are as at Otisville. The 
material contains some recognizable parts of the integument; two carapaces, some 
tergites, small patches with ornamentation, anda telson. All these, save the carapaces, 
have the characteristics of a Pterygotus, especially in the sculpture which consists of 
large, semicircular, posteriorly rising scales and the telson. The smaller of the two 
carapaces is either a distorted Dolichopterus comparable to D. otisius, ora 
Pterygotus, approaching a Slimonia in outline. The larger is too incomplete for deter- 
mination; what there is of it also points to the Hughmilleria-Pterygotus group. There 
is also a small fragment that suggests a badly crumpled carapace of Hughmilleria. On 
account of the interest attaching to this new locality, we have figured the carapaces and | 
telson [pl. 70, fig. 6-8]. 
The third lot consists of thin slabs of waterlime, collected, according to the label, 
from the upper part of the McKenzie formation. In this the remains of the integument 
are sO comminuted, that but a small tergite and several pieces with Pterygotus sculp- 
ture are recognizable. 
It appears from these small-lots of fossils that the peculiar eurypterid facies, both 
of the waterlime and of the shale extended in Cayugan time into the narrow bay reach- 
ing southward from New York into the Appalachian basin. Favorable conditions, 
such as for a time existed at Otisville through extensive quarrying, will. undoubtedly 
some day bring these faunas more fully to light. |
