PALEONTOLOGY OF NEW-YORK. 
106. 4. STREPTOPLASMA CRASSA (n. sp.). 
Pl XXV. Figs, 2 a, b, c. 
Obliquely turbinate, slightly curved, gradually expanding upwards from an obtuse point; 
lamella} about fifty, coarse and strong ; surface marked by longitudinal lines coincident 
with the lamellae ; transverse lines obsolete. 
The whole aspect of this specimen is strong and coarse, differing essentially from the 
last, which presents a neat symmetrical outline and surface. The interior presents some 
apparent irregularity in the lamellae, showing a depression toward the more expanded side 
of the coral, somewhat like Caninia. The structure otherwise, however, is unlike Caninia, 
and, as in Streptoplasma, consists of simple vertical lamellae. 
This species resembles in some degree the one so common in the Black-river and Birdseye 
limestones, but the lamellae are coarser and stronger, and equal in thickness to twice the 
space between them.

Position and locality. Trenton limestone, near Middleville. Rare. 
107. 5. STREPTOPLASMA MULTILAMELLOSA (n.sp.). 
Pl. XXV. Figs. 3 a, b, c. 
Obliquely turbinate, somewhat curved, rapidly enlarging above ; cup moderately deep ; 
lamellae about 120, thin, edges apparently slightly crenulated ; exterior covering thickened, 
smooth. 
This species somewhat resembles the S. corniculum in form ; but it is more robust, the 
lamellm more numerous, and the cup more shallow. The outer edges of the lamella}, 
where denuded of their covering, appear to be crenulated or wrinkled, and the spaces 
between them are twice their thickness : this last character alone is probably sufficient to 
distinguish the species from the two preceding.

Position and locality. In the grey crystalline part of the Trenton limestone, Watertown, 
Jefferson county; and near Trenton, Oneida county. (State Collection.)
