Aug. F. Foerste 
variety huronensis are abundant in the glacial drift northwest of 
Wekwemikongsing. They are found in place 3 miles south of 
Little Current, and at numerous localities around Kagawong and 
Gore Bay. On account of their abundance elsewhere, their 
absence at Manitouaning, and south of the Indian village, 5 miles 
southwest of Little Current, should be noted. The same form 
occurs in the eastward extension of the Richmond, also a short 
distance above the Hehertella insculpta horizon, at various local- 
ities south of Cape Rich, and south of Cape Boucher, 2 miles 
east of Meaford, on the southern shore of Georgian Bay. The 
same fauna should occur also southeastward, at Streetsville, on 
the Credit River, and west of Manitoulin, at the northeast end 
of Drummond Island. 
Near Meaford, Ontario, only the lower part of the Richmond 
section, for 14 feet over the Hehertella insculpta horizon, is 
richly fossiliferous. The overlying part of the Richmond sec- 
tion is formed by a thick series of reddish clays, and shales 
the latter more or less sandy. 
Strophomena nutans, Meek^ 
{Plate III, Figs. 2 A, C, D, E; Plate IX, Fig. 15; Plate X, Figs. 2 A, B, C; Fig. 
2 B on Plate III and Fig. 8 on Plate XI present similar features; Plate X, 
Figs. 3 A, B, C, D, and Plate IX, Fig. 16, approach Strophomena concordensis.) 
The typical form of Strophomena nutans is from the upper or 
Blanchester division of the Waynesville bed, in Butler, Warren, 
and Clinton counties, Ohio. This species was described by Meek 
from material belonging to the U. P. James collection. In this 
collection, preserved in the Walker Museum, at Chicago Uni- 
versity, there is a series of specimens, numbered 65, labelled 
as types of Strophomena nutans, and as coming from Richmond, 
Indiana. Among this series, only the specimen used for Fig. 
1 c, on plate VI, of the Ohio Paleontology, could be found. The 
labelling, Richmond, Indiana, probably is entirely incorrect. 
However, even if the specimen was obtained from the vicinity 
of Richmond, it should be remembered that the nearest outcrop 
containing Strophomena nutans is 8 miles southwest of Richmond, 
li miles south of Abingdon, on the eastern side of the White- 
water River.
