Hitchcock reports large collections of the fossils of the same sand- 
stone from Lake Telos, Webster Lake, and other localities. 
On the map accompanying his report Hitchcock has indicated a 
patch of the Oriskany running obliquely from below Parlin Pond to 
north of the Aroostook River and the more southerly bend of the 
Machias River, on No. 10, R. 7. 
The Parlin Pond fauna has the following species identified in later 
publications, 3 on the authority of C. H. Hitchcock: 
11. Dalmanites epicrates. 
12. Leptodomus mainensis Bill. 
8. Platyostoma ventricosa Con. 
9. Streptorhynchus radiata.

Schools River to Presque Isle. — From sundry rocks (sandstones and 
slates) from other localities in northern Maine, " on the Seboois River,"

the following species were obtained and identified by Billings: 4 
1. Strophomena rhomboidalis. 
2. Rensselseria ovides. 
3. Platyostoma. 
4. Dalmanites n. sp. 
Among the fossils from the sandstone at Webster Lake was identi-
