THE CLINTON GROUP OF OHIO.— Part HI. 
BY -A. F. FOERSTE. 
BRYOZOA. 
The Clinton Group of Ohio is remarkable for the fine preservation 
of a series of FtilodictyonidcE of rather large size, and for the meagre 
representation of all other families of the bryozoa. In 1875, Hall and 
Whitfield described five species from the Soldiers’ Home Quarries, in 
Ohio Paleontology, Vol. H. In 1878, U. P. James described two spe- 
cies, in The Paleontologist, No. I, in 1879, three more in No. HI, of 
the same periodical; these specimens were collected in Clinton county, 
at an exposure three miles north of Wilmington, along Todd’s Fork. 
In 1882, Hall described seven species, in Indiana Geol. Surv. 12th 
Ann. Report; the basis of these descriptions was some drawings and 
antiquated notes left by Mr. Van Cleve; the specimens were collected 
at Dayton, probably in the region of the Soldiers’ Home Quarries. 
The drawings of Mr. Van Cleve were the work of an artist, rather than 
the careful copy by a naturalist of the specimens at hand. His bryo- 
zoa, however, are readily enough determined. These publications 
have given rise to quite a little synonomy considering the small num- 
ber of species involved ; our large collections, however, from the 
original localities will readily unravel any confusion that may exist. '
