Lorraine Faunas of New York and Quebec 323 
533 to 1002 feet below the lowest horizon containing Strophomena 
planumbona and Rhynchotrema perlamellosa. 
At the locality at the cross roads found by going three-quarters 
of a mile west of Vars, along the railroad, and then more than a 
mile northwestward, Proetus chambliensis is found associated with 
the following fossils: columnals usually referred to Glyptocrinus, 
Dalmanella, Rafinesquina mucronata, Plectambonites, Zygospira 
modesta, Pholidops subtruncata, Byssonychia radiata, Clidophorus 
resembling praevolutus, Cymatonota pholadis, Cuneamya scapha- 
brevior, Lyrodesma poststriatum, Psilonychia inornata, Rhytimya 
belonging to oehana group, Eotomaria, Bythocypris cylindrica, 
Ctenobolbina resembling ciliata, Acidaspis, and Calymene. 
Along the same country road, west of Vars, but scarcely half a 
mile north of the railroad, Proetus chambliensis occurs associated 
with: columnals usually referred to Glyptocrinus, Rafinesquina 
mucronata, Plectambonites, Pholidops subtruncata, Clidophorus 
resembling praevolutus, and Pterinea demissa. The loose blocks 
in the neighboring fields, probably from various horizons, includ- 
ing even Richmond boulders, contained the following additional 
species: Hebertella occidentalis, Strophomena sulcata, Zygospira 
modesta, Catazyga headi, and Clathrospira closely resembling 
subconica. 
Along the railroad, a mile northwest of Hawthorne station, 
Proetus chambliensis occurs associated with the following species: 
columnals usually referred to Glyptocrinus, Pholidops subtrun- 
catus, Dalmanella, Plectambonites, Rafinesquina mucronata, Heber- 
tella occidentalis, Zygospira modesta, Lyrodesma poststriatum, 
Pterinea demissa, Ctenodonta lorrainensis, Cornulites, Bythocypris 
cylindrica, and Calymene. In addition to these, loose blocks 
contain Catazyga headi, Byssonychia radiata, and Isotelus. 
The exposures between Ottawa and Vars include representatives 
chiefly of this Proetus zone, with one exposure containing Rich- 
mond fossils, and one containing Triarthrus, and belonging near 
the base of the Lorraine. There is no trace of the Leptaena 
zones belonging between the Proetus and Triarthrus zones, as 
exposed along the Nicolet River. While it is very probable that 
the Lorraine section thins westward from the Nicolet River toward 
Ottawa, it also is probable that a considerable part of the failure 
of missing zones to appear in the Ottawa area is due to faulting. 
Proetus parviusculus, Hall, was described from Cincinnati,
