serve consideration. The ranges of these latter species are dis- 
cussed elsewhere. The extensive range of the species of the 
Kansas Coal Measures may be considered as one of their chief 
characteristics. | 
The only coral with very great range is Lophophyllum pro- 
fundum M.-E. and H. It has been found in next to the lowest 
and topmost horizons, and extends into the Permian in Okla- 
homa. With the exception of Stages C and H it may be re- 
garded as of continuous occurrence. Campophyllum torquium 
Owen and Aulopora? anna Beede are two species of intermit- 
tent occurrence. 
Serpula insita White tubes are found in occasional horizons 
above the Cherokee shales to the top. 
Fenestella imbata Foerste ranges from Stage B to the top of 
the section, as do Rhombopora lepidodendroidea Meek, Sten- 
opora carbonaria (Worth.) and Streblotrypa prisca Gab and 
Horn. Except the second they are rather intermittent in 
their occurrence. Fistulipora nodulifera Meek is the only bryo- 
zoan extending fairly continuously throughout the succession 
of rocks. 
Ten species of Brachiopoda range through the series, most 
of them without serious interruption. They are Amboccelia 
planoconvexa (Shum.), Crania modesta W. and St. J., Derbya 
crassa M. and H., Orbiculoidea missouriensis (Shum.), Pre- 
ductus cora d’Orb. (probably not in the strict sense), P. ne- 
braskensis Owen, P. semireticulatus Mart., Pugnax utah 
(Marc.), Rhipidomella pecosi (Marc.) and Seminula argentia 
(Shep.) The three following species are wanting in the Chero- 
kee shales but have the same range above them: Derbya keo- 
kuk Hall, Dielasma bovidens Mort. and Meekella striaticostata 
(McChes.) With the exception of the first one these three 
species are found nearly continuously throughout the section. 
In some instances the charts do not record these species from 
the uppermost horizons, but they are known to occur in the 
Permian rocks above. 
Among the pelecypods, Allorisma costatum M. and W., A. 
terminale Hall, Entolium aviculatum (Swall.) (?), Nucula ven- 
tricosa Hall and Nuculana attentuata Meek are found in the 
lowest and highest formations, the second rather constantly, 
and the others rather intermittently. Aviculopecten occidentalis 
(Shum.), HEdmondia aspenwallensis Meek (?), Kuchondria neg-
