Pompeekj, therefore, appears to assign HijdroccpJKdHs as a subgenus of 
Paradoxic! es. 
Under the Oienidaj he includes Conocoryphe, Ctenocephalus, Cono- 
cephalites, Ptychoparia, Solenopleura, Agranlos, Ellipsocephalus, Pro- 
typus and Sao. In addition to a number of well known species of 
Barrande and Emmrich, Dr. Pompeekj describes some new forms from 
the Paradoxides beds — a variety of Ptijclu>parln striata and one of Ag- 
nostiia integer Barr. But the most notable additions are in the fauna 
of the Olenellus zone, Lower Cambrian, consisting of a Protypus (?), an 
Ellipocephalus, two Solmopleura (one species referred doubtfully), an 
Agraulos and two species of Ptychoparia. The Protypus is defective 
and doubtfully referred. In the long glabellas of some species and the 
continuous sylobes of others the fauna shows relations to that of Proto- 
leua, but all the species and several genera are different. 
A portion of the memoir is given to a comparison of the fauna of the 
Lower Cambrian with the corresponding faunas of other regions, espe- 
cially of Great Britain, Scandinavia, Estland (Russia) and Sardinia. 
Another ijart of the work is given to an analysis of the fauna of the Bo- 
hemian Paradoxides beds and a comparison with those of other coun- 
tries — Great Britain, Scandinavia, France, Spain. 
The memoir is accompanied by five excellent plates of the species 
found at Tejrovic and Skrej. g. f. m. 
Oeological S^irvey of Neio Jersey^ Annual Report for the year 1S95. 
John C. Smock, State Geologist. (Pages xl, 198, with seven plates and 
nine figures in the text. Trenton. N. J., 1896.) The administrative re- 
port of the State Geologist comprises 21 pages, in which the work dur- 
ing the past year in all the branches of the survey is concisely reviewed. 
Four reports, with more full details, are given, the first being by Prof. 
RoLLiN D. Salisbury, on the surface geology : the second by Dr. J. E. 
Wolff and Lkwis G. Westgate, on the Archean geology of the High- 
lands in northern New Jersey, and especially of the northern part of 
Jenny Jump mountain, in Warren county : the third by Lewis Wool- 
man, on artesian wells in southern New Jersey : and the fourth by 0. 
C. Vermeule, John Gifford, and Gifford Pinchot, on the forests of 
the State. 
The report of Prof. Salisbury, who was assisted l)y G. N. Knapp, gives 
considerable descriptions of the Beacon Hill, Pensauken, and James- ' 
burg formations, which were formerly clas.sed together as the " Vellow 
gravel." The first of these three divisions is referred to the Miocene 
period, and the second to the Lafayette period (according to the last 
preceding annual report of this survey), while a j)art of th(> third, in its 
latest and topographically lowest development, is found to be equivalent 
with the " low-level Columbia " formation of the states southward and 
with the Trenton gravel of the Delaware valley. A map shows the scat- 
te red areas where the Pensauken or Lafayette formation has lieen spared 
by subaerial erosion, stretching across the state from Salein county, 
opposite to Wilmington, Del., northeastward to the Raritan'river be- 
tween New Brunswick and Perth Amboy. Continuing eastward from
