Part I, on the Lignitic Pelecypoda, was published as Bulletin No. 9 (June 15, 1897) and hence formsa part of volume 2. It would have been better, doubtless so far as convenience of ref- erence is concerned, could the present work have followed as Bulletin No. 1c, thus having a continuous pagination with No. 9. This, however, seemed impossible for want of time for its prep- aration during the fall of 1897; hence another took its place, and this is of necessity relegated to vol. 3. The general plan and purpose of these publications has already been duly set forth. We may therefore proceed directly to the subje@t matter of this paper as designated by the above- given title.

Cave branch; Woods bluff, 4 BULLETIN II 4 Clarke Co., Ala.’’ This, as the figure shows is of a slender form, with surface nearly or quite smooth except at the smaller extremity, where five sometimes equal, but generally alternating longitudinal lines are found extending from % to 34 of an inch from the apex. This posterior or lesser termination is usually not entire; but when intact it shows a comparatively shallow slit on the ventral or ex-curved side as indicated by pl. 1, fig. 1, a. When broken posteriorly an internal accessory tubes is often seen projecting beyond the exterior shell. Localities.—Ata.: Woods bluff; Cave branch, (Heilprin): Choctaw Corner; Bethel; 4 mi. S. of Mt.

Dentalium thalloides, Con. Syn. JD. thalloide Dall, Trans. Wag. Free Inst. Sci., vol. 3, pt. 2, p. 438, 1883. Dall says (op. cit.): ‘‘D. thalloide Conrad (D. alternatum Lea) is very common in the Claibornian at Claiborne, near Clarksville and Woods bluff, Alabama, Wautubbee and Newton, Miss., and Creole Bluff, Louisiana.’’ Leaving aside the question as to whether ‘‘very common’”’ applies to the Woods bluff locality or not, it seems to us doubtful whether this species has been found at this locality at all. Our enormous quantities of material from that outcrop fail to yield a single specimen; nor have Aldrich’s researches brought any to light. The Eocene from Alabama collected by L. C. Johnson and now in the U. S. Nat. Museum was often improperly localiz- ed and this may account for the citation of the species at this locality. Dentalium multannulatum, Pitino Syn.

Form and position of the inflation distinguish it from other species of Cadulus of the southern Tertiary.’’ Dall regards this the same as Gabb’s Dztrupa subcoarcuata from Texas, an older name than adruptus. Aldrich has accepted that view, (doc. cit.) though from what he says it seems that he may be mistaken as to the identification of szé- coarcuatus. While studying over the large amount of Eocene material of the Texan State survey we were led to consider the two species distinct. Dall very properly notes that the species ‘‘is notable for having the smaller end lightly longitudinally striated in most specimens.’’ This is especially true of the Woods bluff forms, but was not observed by the writer in his Texas lower Claiborne specimens, nor on a good specimen from Gregg’s land- ing.

In a forth-coming report we shall have more to say regarding the synonymy of zdoneus and pomilius of Conrad and /eatus and punctatus of Lea. They all grade exceeding near to one another. Suffice it to say here that these Lignitic specimens vary somewhat in form, have an obtuse, not prominent fold, are marked exteriorly as follows—beginning with the suture of the body whorl and passing downwards: 1, two or three rather close- set revolving lines on the shoulder and near the suture; 2, one or two broad interspaces with the posterior termination of the mouth following the third of these lines with broad interspaces; 3, on the remaining and lower put of the whorl there are often about ten revolving lines usually decreasing in strength and width of interspace going downwards; often a fine secondary system of spiral lines is here visible. In the larger revolving lines there are microscopic transverse striations. Lines of growth practically invisible even undera glass. The arcuate form of the labrum and the occasional irregularities of growth show that such lines if visible would curve backward or to the right in passing over each whorl to the suture above.

There is, however, a slight constriction about the shell which marks off this posterior portion definitely.

Meyer's original. description.—‘‘Small; aperture and canal about one-third of the entire length; the pointed apex is formed by two and a half small, smooth, embryonic whorls; three rather large transversely ribbed, embryonic whorls complete the nucleus; the largest specimen has three adult whorls,—they are strongly carinated in the middle; the upper part has only one revolving line near the suture, the lower part three elevated spirals; the upper part indicates the position of the large, regularly rounded sinus; the lines of the growth are almost rib-like. Localities.—Red bluff, Miss., Newton, Miss., Claiborne? Ala., Vicksburg, Miss. (var).’’ Meyer’s specimens are evidently all young or imperfect, for in the well grown examples from Texas there are four adult whorls. Moreover, they show two large tooth-like projections on the inside of the labrum and not unfrequently two small plaits on the columella. On the smooth sinus zone there is sometimes a fine spiral line; occasionally there are two. The Lignitic specimens show one, rarely two large spiral lines or carinze on the medial and upper whorls. None so far as noticed show signs of labral or labial dentition. 25 LIGNITIC STAGE to on Lignitic locality. —ALA.: Woods bluff. Its range is now extended from the Lignitic to Oligocene in- clusive.

So extremely different is this spiral ornamentation ‘from that of the specimen I formerly referred to a form of Volutilithes, a Midway type, that it is perhaps hazardous to refer this to the saine species. But the peculiar, oblique costation, nonconfor- mable to the lines of the growth, the smooth apical whorls, the fact that the lower part of the columella and body whorls of quercollis were gone and hence the generic position was not certain, all tend to suggest a probable relationship between these very different looking forms. k Localities. —ALA.: Gregg’s and Bell’s landings.

It is doubtless the same as 777?- chotropis cancellaria, C. fortiplica shows at Woods bluff great variations, both as regards form and general outline. As a rule the body whorl is larger in proportion to the whole shell than the figure would lead one to suppose. This is particularly true of the Texan specimens. The two anterior plicee are apt to be more or less united at base, or in other words are both superimposed on a common fold. Localities.—Alabama: Woods bluff ; Choctaw corner.

Johnson, of the Wagner Free Institute of Science, has compared the two and finds the above distinét. The specimens are not fully matured. One of the two specimens has been presented to the ‘Lea Collection,’ in the Academy of Natu- ral Sciences of Philadelphia.’’ This is evidently a young specimen of the same species shown by pl. 3, fig. 8. It might now be characterized as follows:—- Whorls about 1c: 1-3 smooth; remaining whorls with two stron : earinal raised bands or ridges and sometimes a third just above th : suture; sharply defined raised axial lines extend from the sutur: backward obliquely and outward to the upper carina, pass ove’ 28 BULLETIN II 28 the same and extend more nearly vertically to the lower carina, thence obliquely to the left to the suture below; on the body whorl the direction again changes to obliquely to the right; um- bilicus rather rudimentary; columellar plaits as follows: anteriorly a rather indistinct, nearly vertical slight fold on the columella, above and to the left of which is a slight groove and above this a plait, very obliquely set, and well separated from the next above or posterior by a deep groove, this groove widening and extending into the umbilicus; large post2rior plait transversely set within but curving down into the umbilicus without; strong spiral ridges often form plait-like projections posterior to the above mentioned plaits.

Aldrich’ s original description.—Op. cit. We have several good specimens of this species from Woods bluff, one of which shows a slight carination as indicated by the figure. Others, however, are without any trace of such a feature.

Flarris’ original description.—( Loc. cit. ) Lignitic specimens are sometimes nearly twice the size of the Midway prototypes. They do not asarule show the geniculation in the growth lines on the lower portion of the body whorl so plainly as do the Midway specimens. A labial callosity near the posterior portion of the aperture is often quite evident. The ex- tent to which the spire is callosed over varies considerably in different specimens; generally there is an exceedingly narrow band of shell showing lines of growth just below the suture.

Conrad’ s original description. —‘Cylindrical, with strong longi- tudinal lines and minute revolving wrinkled strize; a slight eleva- tion crowns the whorls, defined by a separating line; spire very short, apex rather obtuse; suture distinct; inferior portion of the columella with an elevated profoundly striated callus, above which are three or four lines revolving to the base; aperture gradually contracted above and effuse at the base. Locality.—Awa., Claiborne, Middle Tertiary. ‘‘Of the species described by Lamarck, this shell approaches nearest A. canalifera. These two species do not correspond entirely with the genus 4zciHaria, as the aparture is much longer, the shells are striated, and the suture is somewhat channeled. They might constitute a separate genus by the name of OLIVULA, and would connect Azcillaria with Oliva.”’ The Lignitic form of this species differs considerably from the typical Claibornian; it is smaller, heavier, smoother, and with much higher spire. Specimens from the Lower Claiborne beds at Smithville, Texas, have the high spire of the Lignitic specimens, but in other respects approach closely, except in size, the typical forms.

The shell is described from a single specimen. An examination of the contents of the interior of the type showed a light colored sand exactly similar to that in my specimens col- lected from Bell's landing, Alabama, on the Alabamariver. The type is a half grown form. Personally I have not been able to see Whitfield’s Alabama types, but I have no doubt Aldrich is right in the foregoing statement. If so, then in all probability it is the form I have figured, especially common at Yellew bluff, that should be referred to this species.

In the same way, Volutilithes petrosus is distorted, forming an appar- ently distinct species called V”. ¢womevi. The great variation of this species at different stages of growth and under dissimilar cir- cumstances has caused many names to be given as specific, when if given at all they should have been employed to designate the varieties only.

Several hundred specimens of this species ranging from Lig- nitic to Jackson harizons inclusive, in the collection at the Smithsonian Institution were studied by the writer on several occasions in preparing certain reports on Eocene fossils. Conrad's Athleta tuomeyt represents only an exaggerated case of sutural and labial callosity. Dall agreed to this view of the matter and so arranged his synonyms, (Tr. Wag. Fr. Inst. Sci., vol. 3). Pseudoliva vetusta is similarly diseased by Lignitic conditions. Venericardia planicosta is also excessively thickened under sim1- lar conditions. Of the recently named I”. precursor and V. lisbonensis it may be said that they are of doubtful validity. Dall was mistaken in supposing that his I”. precursor was associated with V. rz- gatus, a Midway species. It is in reality associated with V. petrosus in the Lower Claiborne beds of Texas and is separated from the latter with the greatest difficulty. Aldrich’s V. lisbonensts is one of the many connecting forms. Next year we shall have occasion to give figures of the other intermediate varieties. Lignitic localities. —Texas: Sabinetown.

Moreover it is only the second whorl from the apex which is costated, the others are smooth save for the very fine micro- scopic spiral lines. Each whorl is tightly appressed to the preceding, hence there is no trace of a shoulder. In S. hetlprint there is a very slight trace of a shoulder at the suture.

Dall’s original description.—‘‘C. podagrina differs from C. pyruloides, and especially from C. subangulata (under which name I have received it from Mr. Aldrich), by its much more sunken spire, the tops of the whorls being flat or excavated ; by the last whorl with a marked but not sharp angulation at the shoulder, and wider anteriorly; and by the sutural edge of the last whorl, which is elevated and rounded, dropping sud- denly to the suture instead of being smoothly appressed against it. Wailes’ figure does not show the suture of subangulata accurately. C. podagrina is also larger, much more solid and heavy, with a less polished surface, and belongs to. a much earlier geological horizon. “The nucleus is large and blunt, followed by about four whorls, which are spirally striated and show. well-marked incremental lines. Between the angle and the sutural sinus, which last is emphasized, the lip is somewhat eoneave. In front of the angle it is nearly straight. There are four strong 38 BULLETIN II 38 columellar plaits. There are no traces of color on the outside of the shell, but the middle layer of the shell, when exposed by erosion, is of a very dark color, when well preserved. In full-grown specimens there is a rather thick callus on the body whorl. The species reaches a size of 90x 70 mm. The plaits are rather thicker and closer together than in C. saé- angulata of the same size.’’ Locality.—Alabama: Bell’s landing. Lapparia dumosa, Con. var., Aldrich cites this species (JZztra dumosa, var.) from Hatche- tigbee bluff, (Geol. Surv. Ala., Bull. 1, p. 50), but we did not find the species there. Dall says Lapparia extends from ‘‘early to later Eocene,’’ (Trans. Wag. Inst. vol. 3, p. 79,) but I am inclined to think that if any specimens are labeled in the U. S. Nat. Museum as coming from Midway or lower Lignitic localities it is owing to confusion of labels in the collection, by L. C. Johnson. Conomitra tracyi, n. sp., Pl: +4, fig. 9: Specific charaéterization.—Size and form as indicated by the figure; whorls about 7; 1 and 2 smooth; 3 longitudinally costate ; remaining whorls marked by rather small, sharp costze extending from the suture below to the humeral angle, a depressed subsutural slope ornamented just below the suture with a reappearance of the costee seen below; body whorl with more or less sharply defined spirals ; aperture showing four trans- -verse columellar plaits, the most anterior often very faint, the medial two strong ; labrum crenate within. If one had the spire alone of this species it could scarcely be told from the smaller whorls of Volutilithes petrosus and so it doubtless has been regarded, for it is quite common at Woods bluff and would doubtless have been described before now had it not had so deceitful surface ornamentation. The young of Volutilithes however have much longer anterior canals, the columella is arcuate and there are but two well marked plicze on it and they are oblique, the anterior the stronger. 39 LIGNITIC STAGE 39 Localities. —Alabama: Woods bluff; 3 miles southwest of Thomasville, near Choctaw corner.

The specimen Aldrich called F.. tombigbeensis is of the rugose type and has a tendency to present crenules or nodules at the intersection of the spiral and longitudinal lines. This feature however, in a large quantity of material, is found to be not of specific value. Aldrich re- marks: ‘‘The type specimen has unfortunately lost its canal, but a younger specimen supplied the description. Younger specimens have the whorls more carinated than in the figured type.’’ Unfortunately the ‘‘younger specimen’’ referred to is a Pleurotoma (pl. 2, fig. 4).

This 1s esesemine specimens obtained by Conrad through Dr. Showalter and labelled simply ‘‘Alabama,’’ though the lot of fossils were said to have come from a comparatively northern locality ; doubtless this came from Matthews’ landing. Heilprin, strangely enough, had ‘‘Claiborne, Ala,’’ put on the label. De Gregorio and Cossmann suggest the marked similarity or even identity of this with Aldrich’s Fasciolaria pergracilis. With good specimens of both before me I must confess I can see no similarity between these forms. /yxz/za has three embryonic smooth whorls followed by the spiral whorls which are ribbed longitudinally with a slight Pleurotomoid flexure not far below the suture.

Woods bluff, Clarke Co., Ala. “This species resembles the /wsas bifasciatus of Deshayes, (Annimaux sans Vertébres, Bassin de Paris, 11, pl. 84, figs. 15, 16,) from the Paris basin, but may be readily distinguished from that species by its more slender form.’’ This species is found in the lower Claiborne beds of Texas; in the Lignitic of Alabama at Woods _ bluff, on the Tombigbee ; near Butler; mouth of Bashi creek ; and Nanafalia. Three of the embryonic whorls of this species are smooth and rotund and increase rapidly in size; the fourth is rotund and non-carinate, but is marked by a net-work of lines, faint at first but stronger below ; the fifth whorl is also marked by longitud1- nal and spiral lines and is carinate centrally.

Aldrich’s type specimen bearing the original label with statement that it is the type and has been figured, says plainly “‘Gregg’s landing.’’ This thin shell with very rounded or bulging spiral whorls may possibly be related to Wazzalina but it seems to us closer still to the living Szpho ventricosus off the coast of Newfoundland.

Below there are indications of short, slight ribs or faint spines. The lines of growth in passing from the latitude of faint spines bend to the left as they pass upwards and over the broad channel to the suture. This reminds one of Levéfusus and we may well wonder if the canaliculate fulgurs may not have had a similar form for their prototype. Type and specimen figured.—Aldrich’s collection.

The great mass of Woods bluff specimens are more fusiform with carinal spines raised some little distance above the suture. Their largest or body whorl is apt to have few and weak spines. At Gregg’s landing the specimens are more in harmony with the figure, though the spines on the larger whorls of specimens from that landing are rather more numerous. At Yellow bluff the specimens are still stouter and spines still more numerous. From Oakhill, (See Bull. 1, p. 207), a Midway locality, the species again goes back to its normal size, but is more strongly marked by spiral heavy lines on the body whorl and a tendency to split the carinal spines by an incised spiral line, such as is well developed in Z. suterz.

After reading Dall’s account of the many varieties of Fulgur spiniger (vol. I11, p. 107, Trans. Wag. &c.), that are found in the Oligocene, and noting too that Aldrich cites ‘‘/wsus’’ spiniger from Tuscahoma, I cannot help wondering whether the form under discussion might not be specifically identical with spznmiger. But, so far, none of the varieties of the latter species seem to have the comparatively Fusoid spire of zzdentus, nor are the spines imbricate as described by Dall of. ez¢. p. 110. We are inclined to think sfzxiger a true Fulgur, while this species has the Pleurotomoid features of Levéfusus. That Faulgur is derived from Levzfusus there can be little or no doubt. JZ. pagoda when well developed in the lower Lignitic approaches this form. Fragments of a large Fulguroid species in the Lea Memorial collection from Yellow Bluff and Bell’s landing may belong to a variety of this species. The whorls are more squarely shouldered and the spines less flattened vertically. Localities,—Alabama: Nanafalia. Georgia: Bluff at Ft. Gaines. Tvpe.—Paleontological Museum, Cornell University.

Body whorl strongly shouldered, contracted below, with numerous revolving lines on the basal portion, which are obsolete on the middle part ; the 54 BULLETIN 11 54 centre is flattened, sometimes concave.

In one specimen the shoulder of the body whorl rises so as to almost hide the succeeding whorl, giving the shell a triangular form. ‘The generic affinities of this species are not well known.

The apex is worn but appears to be blunt.’’ When we consider the enormous amount of variation shown by this shell in the Lower Claiborne, Claiborne, and especially in the Jackson beds of Arkansas, we are obliged to regard this as but a mild divergence from typical zzaurata.

Aperture oblong-ovate ; canal moderate ; outer lip thickened and striate within ; inner lip smooth, slightly excavated, thickened and angular at junction with canal. Locality.—Lower bed, Wood’s bluff. ‘The absence of a callosity at the posterior end of the aperture makes the generic place doubtful.’’ This species resembles several of the modern /:wthvia.

Yet when ex- amined under a hand glass these accidental features are readily detected ; and I yet have to find any specimens of cancellata in Lignitic beds. De Gregorio correctly remarks: ‘‘la figure de Conrad laisse a désirer.’’ Cossmann was perplexed at a specimen of this species sent him from Gregg’s by Meyer under the name of Buccinum sagenum, and referred it to one of De Gregorio’s many species, z. e. to znuteranda. He was again perplexed as to its generic position, referring it to Comdznella with a query. That this is not far from Massa cancellata is evident from Hatchetigbee specimens which are shorter, coarser ribbed, and with columnar features not so sharply defined as in typical exilts.

Aldrich’s original description.—‘‘Shell acuminate, whorls ten, rounded; spire high, with three embryonic whorls, the first two smooth, the next showing longitudinal varices, the balance with numerous (in the type nine) strong varices, which are, when perfect, thin, fringing and sigmoid; six or more revolving lines cut the edge of the varices into an equal number of crenulations, these revolving lines being strongest at their intersecting points; aperture ovate, terminating in a narrow canal which turns strongly to the left and slightly upward; outer lip sharp, thick- ened and crenulated within; three slight protuberances on the anterior part of the columella near the canal. ‘“‘Locality.—Lower bed, Woods bluff, Ala. ‘‘Only two specimens found. ‘This species is more acuminate and has a shorter canal than is usual in living forms.’’ Muricidea imbricatula.

Labrum lirate within; columella very much twisted and showing signs of plications, especially at the basal angle. Um- bilicus not large, but well defined. The most peculiar feature of this species is the imbricate appearance of the incremental lines. This strongly reminds one of some of the Muricide. The gen- eral form of the species is much like Latirus rugatus Dall from the Ballast Point Silex beds. “‘Locality.—Woods bluff.’’ We are led to believe by new material that the striations on the columella referred to above are due to the revolving strize showing through the thin columella collosity, and hence do not partake of the nature of those of Lat:rvws. ‘This is not far from Trophon elegantissimus, but differs in having much finer and more regular imbrications; with ribs, revolving lines, imbrications and all extending from suture to suture. The humeral region of e/e- gantissimus is nearly plain. Type.—Lea Memorial Collection, Acad. Nat. Sci., Phila. Phyllonotus morulus, Pl. 8, fig. 7s Syn. See Bull. Am.

Named in honor of the late Prof. Michael Toumey.”’ 65 LIGNITIC STAGE 65 So far we have observed this species only at Woods bluff, though it doubtless will be found elsewhere at a similar horizon. In the type specimen the varices happen to be continuous, one above the other, but that is not true of the specimen herewith figured. In this, the varices of each succeeding whorl surpass those of the whorl before by one rib-space. It seems that Fischer is right in referring ‘‘Ravzella’’ gigantea of the Mediterranean to the genus 77zfow, on account of its lack of a posterior canal. The species fomey? certainly falls in the same group with gigantea, This differs from showalferi by its different location of the varix before the aperture and the less pronounced angulation of the whorls.

The apex of this species is formed by (1) a very small smooth whorl nearly enclosed by (2) a much larger smooth whorl followed by (3) about one-third of a volu- tion chara¢terized by spiral striations and afterward by vertical heavy lines, then (4) a slight non-conformability with a slight varix, then the remainder of the whorls ornamented as shown by the figures. The above-mentioned embryonic whorls are set at a slightly different angle from the axis of the remaining spirals. In old specimens the labrum is thickened within.

We have noted in the American Journal of Science, vol. 47, p. 302-303, fig’s. 1, 2, 1894, the form or variety styled post-mortonz from the Lignitic of Alabama (called carivata by de Greg.) char- acterized by comparatively faint spiral striation and by a sharp, strong carina not so basally located as in the typical form.

Whether or not the Cretaceous specimens from Prairie bluff should be re- 86 | BULLETIN II 86 ferred to the same depends on the verdict of paleontologists after better material than I have yet seen from that locality is ob- tained. Dall says: ‘‘Since this group remounts in the geological scale to the De- vonian, it is not so extraordinary that one of the species should persist from the uppermost Cretaceous to the present day. No differential characters have ever been recorded which would sep- arate Morton’s shell from the Eocene form which follows it, and I can assert with confidence that the latter cannot be discrimin- ated from the Miocene and recent forms by any constant charac- ters. If this succession be admitted, it is a strong testimony to the protective value of the device by which the members of this family defend themselves.”’ Lignitic locality.—Ala.: Woods bluff.

Dall is doubtless right when he says: ‘‘In this species the young has the umbilical rib very distinct, but in completely adult specimens the rib has frequently become so obsolete as to have practically vanished.’’ A large and prob- ably more or less diseased form is shown by fig. 19, which still retains a very sharply defined and large umbilical rib. ‘This, however, is a rare exception. 87 LIGNITIC STAGE 87 Typical small specimens occur at Hatchetigbee, with strong umbilical ribs, much stronger than that represented by fig. 18, from Woods bluff. Larger specimens with not the slightest trace of this rib are common in the Lignitic. One is represented by fig. 20. Sometimes the ribless, more elevated, smaller specimens have something of the appearance of broad varieties of WV. emznula, but a glance at the suture will distinguish the two: semzlunata is slightly flattened or shouldered just below the suture, while in eminula there is no trace of such a character and the lower whorls are tightly appressed at a small angle against the whorls above. There is even a slight indentation sometimes in evzn2/a where the shoulder occurs in semzlunata. - Lignitic localities.—Ala.: Gregg’s landing; Woods bluff; 3 mi. s. w. of Thomasville; 4 miles above Hamilton bluff; Hatchetig- bee.

This form differs considerably from true emznula from the Claiborne sands, but its general form and appearance is such as to suggest a close relationship to the latter. MV. emznula at Clai- borne differs somewhat in its proportions, but it is generally thin, with only a slight tendency to form a columellar callosity. This form is thicker, wider in proportion to its height; with a callosity showing an indentation or notch above—a characteristic which, however, I have noticed in Jackson specimens from White bluff, Ark. These differences are probably due to difference of environment. These differential characteristics are carried slightly further in VV. marylandica Con.; 7. e., marylandica is lower or wider than the Lignitic specimens of the South and are apt to have a larger umbilicus. MV. marylandica, too, sometimes attains a larger size than any of its southern representatives. If marylandica were the older name I would be inclined to place this Lignitic form as a variety of that species, for the inter-re- lationship of the two is close and well marked. It is fortunate that emznula and marylandica were proposed for the extremes of the series if the names are to be employed as de- noting distinct species. But this leaves us in doubt abopt the proper nomenclature of these intermediate forms.

Am. Pal., vol. 1, p. 232, pl. 22, fig. 17. Whitfeld’s original description.—See Bull. Am. Pal., vol. 1, p. 232. Dall is inclined to think this is the adult form of aperta. He cites in favor of this idea the fact that ‘‘V. onusta by Whitfield, otherwise identical with his VV. aperta, has the umbilicus plumply filled by a rounded callus. One specimen in the National Collec- go BULLETIN II 90 tion, among those which had been referred to as V. aferta Whit- field, has an incipient callus forming, and I am led to suspect that this species delays forming a callus until the shell is fully grown and then adds it, and that therefore WV. aferta and JN. onusta should be consolidated under the last mentioned specific name.’’ Opposed to this view are the facts: that even the small onusta are provided with a callus; that their shell substance is thicker than in afervta; that there is scarcely ever a trace ofa shoulder just below the suture in ozusta, while it is strongly de- veloped in aferta,; aperta’s spire is generally much more elevated and pointed. This we believe to be a forerunner of WV. démula. ‘The latter species was recorded in Bull. 4 as coming from the Midway beds. Having up to this time seen no other specimens from so low a horizon, or even from the Lignitic, we are inclined to suspect an error in labelling sorhewhere. JV. onusta varies somewhat in form, but no more than does “mula. It is distinguished from the latter by its umbilical features only. Its umbilicus is very broadly spreading, hence giving the lower margin of the body whorl a more or less carinated appearance.

The type shows on the body whorl traces of numerous revolving color lines.’’ * With all of Conrad’s types before me I cannot see how our Lignitic specimens can be referred to WV. mzssissipiensis Con. The latter species is smooth exteriorly, showing almost no traces _ of growth lines; practically no umbilicus, and what there is, is obliterated by the labial callosity; no sign of the ‘“‘thickened callus or rib proceeding from the lower edge of the outer lip and rounding into the umbilicus,’’ as mentioned under vecurva. The Lignitic variety of vecurvva is generally smaller than the type specimen. The ‘‘rib’’ just referred to does not generally make quite so wide a sweep, but proceeds more directly up into the umbilicus in the varietal form. JV. vrecurva varies greatly at its type locality so far as suture channeling and height of spire are concerned. 93 LIGNITIC STAGE 93 Lignitic localities.—Ala.: Hatchetigbee; Woods bluff; Bell’s landing; Yellow bluff.

Lea, and afterwards Conrad, referred the two to the same species, though Conrad still retained declivus as a varietal designation. Azlzx is rotund; de- clivus is oblique.

Between the carinal and sub-carinal lines there is generally a more or less con- spicuous revolving line, though no trace of it is to be seen on the type specimen. Differs from A. exacuus Con. by (1) the presence of two raised spirals in the subsutural depression in place of a large number of fine hair lines, (2) the entire absence of ‘hair line spirals between the high raised lines, by (3) the lack of the broad, flattened base of the body whorl of exacuus, (4) the presence of three well-de- veloped spirals and a sub-carina beneath. 95 LIGNITIC STAGE 95 In general appearance this is like 4. delphinuloides Mr. ,though that has the striation af exacuus.

Regarding a very similar form I found in the Lower Claiborne of Texas, I wrote in my still unpublished report: ‘‘By examining a large number of specimens from Claiborne it will be observed’ that some show signs of a rudimentary plait below the strong one noted by Con- rad. This feature is noticeable in the Texas specimen.’’ Cassmann says the plaits in da//z are almost equal. Again, the suture as figured by him are not the same as in our specimen.

Dall’s original description. —‘‘Shell small, subconical, with five or six whorls; nucleus small; whorls rounded, with a flattened space in front of the suture, which is distinct and sometimes even slightly channeled; the flattened area is bounded anteriorly by an elevated spiral thread, which especially on the earlier whorls is more or less distinctly beaded; besides this the surface is sculp- tured with spiyal grooves separated by about equal interspaces and crossed obliquely by numerous impressed lines, rather evenly spaced and in harmony with the lines of growth; the sculpture throughout is stronger on the upper part of the whorls and on the earlier whorls; on the last whorl it is more or less obsolete in nearly all the specimens; the periphery is evenly rounded; the base slightly flattened; the umbilicus large and funicular, its walls sculptured in both directions, the spirals distinétly beaded; the umbilical carina is crenate, with a narrow sulcus formed by _two or three impressed lines, outside of the carina; aperture very oblique, rounded, thin-edged, hardly interrupted by the body whorl or umbilical carina. Altitude of two specimens, A and B, A 7, B 5.5; max. diam., A 8.5, B 7.00 mm. “This species has been generally confounded with S. elegans, which is a less elevated shell, with a scalar umbilicus and gener- ally with several elevated, rather distant spirals and more promi- nent sculpture.’’ The shell is beautifully macreous just beneath the surface layers, which are often more or less exfoliated. When IOI WIGNIETIC WS TAGE 10! young the line just outside of the umbilical carina is very deep and wide; just outside of this furrow there is a second deeply-beaded band separated from the rest of the base of the whorl by a second but less deeply incised line. In young speci- mens the umbilical carina projeéts downward far below the peri- pheral margin of the body whorl. I overlooked Dall’s description (without figure) of this species given in his ‘‘Tertiary Fauna of Florida’? and gave another name, sylverupis. In part IV. of Dall’s work, just published (1898), I find it figured. It is true that a fossil is not now en- titled to a name in scientific literature until it is figured. But in- asmuch as Dall refers to a plate and figure in his earlier work, this is taken as proof that a figure was drawn then, though pub- lished in 1898. Courtesy would doubtless therefore permit the use of the name S. douzszana. Lignitic localitices.—Ala.: Hatchetigbee; Woods bluff; 4 mi. above Hamilton bluff. Type.—National Museum.

Ala., 1886, p. 67, pl. 2, fig. 28. Meyer described his A. swbangulatus from Jackson, Miss., as follows: ‘‘Discoid; whorls five, rapidly increasing in size; mar- gin somewhat angular; basal part of margin rounded; umbilicus To2 BULLETIN ITI 102 deep; suture distinct; surface with revolving lines, indistinct near the margin; aperture irregularly elliptical. ‘ Adeorbis depressus Lea sp. ( Teinostoma rotula Heilpr.) from Claiborne has the umbilicus nearly closed, a regularly rounded margin, a more developed ornamentation, and is larger.’’ Having just examined the type of votawla kindly sent me from the Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., I am inclined to think it an extremely smooth variety of depressa, for its umbilical rib is the same and on the base near the aperture there are traces of spiral punctuate lines. Not having the type ef swbangulatus for comparison, it is with great doubt that these Lignitic forms are referred to Meyer’s species. Instead of being smaller than depressus they are in some instances of two or three times the dimensions of that species. They vary greatly in angulation or carination of the body whorl. They are generally rather finely striate or smooth above and more strongly striate below. There is a thickening of the middle por-.- tion of the obliquely-cut columella, but no distinct umbilical rib as seen in species like depressus The Lea Memorial specimen from Bell’s (fig. 20) is flattened and smooth above; our Gregg’s landing specimen (fig’s. 21, a) is more bicarinate, with higher spire and striate above and below; the Sabinetown fragment. (fig’s. 22, a, b) is more callous about its umbilicus and is smooth and suitine all over. Aldrich’s ‘‘Adeorbis Pie Lea’’ and ‘‘ 7einostoma subro- tunda Mr.,’’ from Bell’s landing (Bull. 1, Geol.

The beds of ‘‘a’’ of this section contain characteristic Niagara fossils. In the upper ten feet Devonian fossils are abundant. S#z77fer gregarius occurs in great profusion and with a few species of corals furnishes the greater part of the fossils in some of the strata. The fossils identified from these beds are as follows: Station 15A.—Bear Grass quarries. Atrypa reticularis a, Aviculopecien princeps, Chonetes mucro- natus +, Conocardium trigonale r, Crinoid stems c, Orthis towenszs c, Pentamerella arata r, Phacops cristata var. pipa, Platyceras car- tnatum 1, Platyceras dumosum r, Platyceras echinatum r, Pleurodic- 26° BURL RON Te 154 tyon problematicum r,Polypora sp.c, Proetus crassimarginatus c, Spir- afer sp. 1, Spirifer acuminatus 1, Spirifer byrnesir, Spirifer gregar- zusa, Spirifer towensis, Spirifer raricostus ? 1, Spirifer varicosus 1, Streptorhynchus arctostriatus 1, Stropheodonta demissa c, Stropheo- donta hemtspherica r, Stropheodonta perplana r, Terebratula linck- lenir, Zaphrentis sp. c.

The Black shale was found to rest unconformably on the De- vonian limestone in the vicinity of Brooks. In the bed of Brooks run, between the railroad and the wagon road, the lower strata of the Black shale lie in shallow, irregularly eroded pockets in the limestone. In some of these a thin layer of reddish clay was observed between the limestone and the undisturbed Black shale. The unconformity observed here is shown in the accompanying figure (Fig. 1). FIG, 1.— Section on Brooks Run, Bullitt County, Kentucky. I55 DEVONIAN OF SOUTHERN INDIANA to ~I These Sellersburg beds are entirely wanting here. The Devonian limestone of the above section probably does not exceed two feet in thickness. It afforded-the following fossils: Station 25A.—Brooks Run. Adtinopteria sp., Atrypa reticularis c, Camarotechia sp., Liche- nalia sp., Orthis vanuxemi r, Pentamerclla avatar, Phacops rana, Platyceras sp., Platyostoma lineatum c, Productella spinulicosta r, Proetus crassimarginatus c, Rhipidomella livia r, Spirifer divart- catus 1, Spirifer fimbriatus r, Spirifer fornaculus r, Spirifer vari- cosus 1, Stropheodonta demissa r, Stropheodonta perplana. The unconformity of the Black shale and the underlying lime- stones is well shown in a section exposed in the railroad cut a quarter of a mile south of Huber station. ‘The shale on one side of the section here is separated from the limestone by about four inches of red clay. The accompanying figure (Fig. 2) illustrates the relations ob- served between the shale and the limestone at this point. FIG. 2.—Settion showing the unconformity of the Black shale and the De- vonian limestone. A. Devonian limestone. B. Red clay. C.

Ambocelia umbonata a, Camarotechia tethys c, Orthis sp., Platyceras sp., Spirifer davisi? r, Spirifer fimbriatus r, Spirifer segmentus 1, Spirifer varicosus r, Tropidoleptus carinatus r. 28 BULLETIN 12 156 The New Albany Black shale does not everywhere have the black color usually characteristic of it. At the side of the wagon road about three-quarters of a mile northeast of Brooks it has a pale buff color, and the following fossils were obtained from it at this locality: Station 258.—Brooks, Ky. Chonetes scitulus, Leiorhynchus quadricostata?, Lingula spatu- lata a. Station 25C.—The New Providence shale is weil exposed by extensive washes on the side of Button mould knob, about two miles north of Brooks. ‘This has been a well-known collecting ground for many years and the rarer species are very scarce. The following were found here: Athyris lamellosa ? r, Aulopora sp. a, Camarotechta sp., Chon- etes tllinotsensts c, Crinoid stems a, Orthothetes crenistria +, Platy- ceras sp. a, Productella pyxidata, Rhipidomella owent a, Spirifer martonensts ? c, Spirifer mortonanus r, Sptrifer suborbicularis c, Spirtferina sp. c, Stronbodes striatus, Zaphrentis sp. a. The massive Riverside sandstone which caps this knob appears to be entirely barren of fossils. But in the beds of the same hor- izon the following fauna was found west of Brooks: Station 25D,—Riverside sandstone one inile west of Brooks. Camarotechia sappho c, Cypricardinia sp. 1, Derbya keokuk c, Discina sp. r, Fenestella sp. c, Orthothetes crenistria 1, Produétus burlingtonensis c, Syringothyris typa c.

The following species were obtained from it: Station 26D.—Deer Lick knob, Bullitt county, Kentucky. Rhipidomella owent a, Spirifer mortonanus c, Sptrifer suborbic- ularis Cc. The blue clay shale beds here have the usual characteristics of the New Providence shale, but contain very few fossils. None of these species occur in the Kinderhook fauna which occupies this horizon in southern Indiana. LEBANON JUNCTION, KENTUCKY. The New Providence shale is exposed on the sides of the knobs near Lebanon Junction and the following species were obtained: Station 26D.—Northwest of Lebanon Junction one-half mile. Athyris lamellosa a, Chonetes tllinotsensis r, Dielasma bovidens ? t, Produétus semireticulatus c, Spirifer sp. 1, Spirifer marion- ensis r, Spirifer mortonanus c, Zaphrentis dalet E. and H. a. The absence, or at least the scarcity, of Rhipidomella oweni at this station is rather surprising, since it is usually the most abundant species in these beds. NEw HaAveEN, KENTUCKY. The Devonian limestone was not seen at New Haven and if present there is very thin. The section below is exposed just west of the town on the bank of Rolling Fork.

RILEY’S, KENTUCKY. The Lower Silurian limestone outcrops about one hundred yards northwest of the station with a dip of 10°—15° toward the southwest. _The Black shale is exposed in the cut at the station. A short distance northwest of this it was found resting uncon- formably on rocks which are probably of Niagara age, though | no fossils were found by which to settle this point. Station 28B.—Just south of the station in the sandy shales at the top of the hill the following species were eoleeen about ninety feet above the Black shale: Camarotechia sappho rx, Chonetes illinotsensis a, Cypricardinia . sp. c, Hemipronites crenistria c, Macrodon newarkensis? r, Pal- aonetlo bedfordensis r, Produétus burlingtonensis c, Produétus sem- treticulatus c, Produétus shumardianus a, Producius punétatus 1, Schizophoria sp. r, Spirifer sp. 1, Spirifer marionensis r, Spirifer subelliptica c, Streblopteria sp. r, Syringothyris texta r. PARKSVILLE, KENTUCKY. About three-quarters of a mile west of Parksville the Black 32 BULLETIN 12 160 shale rests directly on the Lower Silurian. The following Lower Silurian species were collected from the bluish shelly sandstone just below the Black shale: Murchisonia sp. c, Platystrophia crassa r, Platystrophia lynx c. The Black shale about Parksville is about twenty-five feet thick. No fossils were found in the’ blue clay shale above the Black shale here. : In the Riverside sandstone the following. fauna was found about 125 feet above the Black shale: Station 28B,—Old sandstone quarry one and one-half miles west of Parksville. Camarotechia sp. 1, Cryptonella eudora c, Eumentria sp. 1, Hlemtpronites crenistria c, Platyceras lodense r, Productus alter- natus r, Produétus schumardanus r, Productus semtreticulatus, Re- ticularia pseudolineata c, Spirifer keokuk c, Spirifer lateralis ? r.
