 Halysites catennlatus is one of these species, which is 

 extremely characteristic of the Cobleskill of the Rosendale cement 

 region, but Hartnagel records it from only one locality in the Scho- 

 harie region, i. e. northeast of Howes Cave. Again some of the 

 characteristic western species, such as Spirifer eriensis, 

 S. c o r a 1 1 i n e n s i s , Trochoceras g e b h a r d i and 

 Leper ditia scalar is, while common in the Schoharie 

 region, are absent in the Cobleskill of the Hudson valley. S . 

 c o r a 1 1 i n e n s i s and S . eriensis occur however in the 

 uppermost Manlius of Bee-raft mountain, 1 showing that by the 

 end of Manlius time these species had made their way east to the 

 Hudson valley.
