by accident. After the discovery of Apatichnus Holyokensis , I was 
able to point out several illustrations of the new species at Am- 
herst, which had been overlooked in the preparation of the Ichnol- 
ogy and Supplement. 
MUSEUM AT SOUTH HADLEY. 
The Mt. Holyoke Seminary and College has taken great interest 
in Ichnology and possesses an admirable collection. Among the 
more important ones are the t} r pe specimens of Apatichnus Holyok- 
ensis and of six or eight new species from Wethersfield Cove 
besides Anomoepus cuneatus and A. isodactylus from the Dickin- 
son quarry at South Hadley. The data for improved descriptions 
of Brontozoum divaricatum and Plectropterna elegans are present, 
as well as long rows of Otozoum Moodii , Brontozoum giganteum 
and B. approximatum. The slabs occupy a large room in the base- 
ment of the Lyman Williston Hall, while smaller specimens have 
been placed in an adjoining apartment. 
The institution possesses several slabs from the Dickinson quarry 
about a mile north from the buildings. These are composed of a 
hard sandstone which preserves the impressions and casts with un- 
usual distinctness. The marks of the heels of the hind feet, the 
front feet and the tails of Anomoepus are very plentiful. About 
sixty species of Ichnozoa are placed upon these tables and a care- 
ful description of every slab exists in the manuscript form. 
This catalogue is like the one prepared by myself in 1865 for the 
Amherst collection, and printed in the Supplement. 
THE WETHERSFIELD (CONN.) COVE. 
This was known as a locality of footmarks fifty years since. The 
material is a soft fine-grained shale capable of preserving the more 
delicate markings. My father regretted his inability to explore 
this locality more fully. In his collection eighteen species are as- 
cribed to this locality. In 1878, Miss A. C. Edwards, associate 
principal of Holyoke Seminary, authorized me to make explorations 
in behalf of her institution . The result was the gathering of thirty- 
five species of Ichnozoa, eight of them being new to science. The 
following is a list of them : 
Brontozoum giganteum. 
divaricatum. 
Sillimanium. 
Grallator cuneatus. 
tenuis 
Anomoepus curvatus 
Platypterna Deaniana. 
tenuis 
delicatula. 
Ornithopus gallinaceus.
