CHAZY LIMESTONE. 23 
36. 5. ATRYPA ALTILIS (n. sp.). 
Pu. IV. (bis). Figs. 9 a, b, ¢, d. 
Rotund ; valves almost equally convex, rapidly attenuating from the middle to the beaks ; 
beak of the dorsal valve small, acute, incurved over the other, which is closely appressed 
to the dorsal valve ; surface of each valve marked by about 24 equal rounded radii; eight 
of the radii are slightly depressed upon the back of the dorsal valve, and much elevated 
in front, meeting an equal number of slightly elevated radii of the ventral valve. 
This species occurs with the preceding, but is more rarely seen ; it is clearly distinct, and 
readily identified by the more numerous radi, evenly rounded outline, and less angular 
mesial elevation and depression upon the two valves. This species resembles, in many 
points, the rotund forms of the higher strata.

Position and locality. In the upper part of the Chazy limestone. Chazy, Clinton county. 
37. 1. ORBICULA? DEFORMATA (xn. sp.). 
Pu. IV. (bis). Fig. 10. 
Suborbicular, depressed ; surface smooth ; apex scarcely elevated. 
Position and locality. In the higher layers of the Chazy limestone. Chazy, Cinton county. 
38. 1. METOPTOMA? DUBIA (n. sp.). 
Pu. IV. (bis). Fig. 11. 
Oval ; apex elevated, incurved ; surface nearly smooth, or with fine concentric lines. 
Position and locality. In the lower part of the Chazy limestone. Chazy, Clinton county. 
39. 1. ILLAZNUS ARCTURUS (n. sp.). 
Pu. IV. (bis). Fig. 12. 
Buckler rounded and narrow in front, thick, expanding abruptly towards its junction 
with the first articulations of the abdomen; subtrilobate, the posterior angles much extended. 
A single articulation of the body only is visible; posterior edge of the buckler nearly 
straight ; eyes not visible, though their position is visible. The lateral lobes of the buckler 
are wanting, or greatly compressed and contracted. 
This individual is the only specimen found, and further discoveries may make it necessary 
to change the description to some extent. 
Position and locality. In fine semi-oolitic limestone at the base of the formation at Chazy 
village. (State Collection.
