The apical portion of a small individual enlai'ged three diameteiv, preserving the initial extremity, and showing the umbilical cicatrice at the apex, the oi-nanientation of the test, and the depth of the air-chambei's. The first air-chamber is seen to be much deeper than those succeeding. Hamilton group. Pratt's Falls, N. Y. Fig. 13 a.

An indi\'idual preserving several air-chambers near the apex, and showing the form of the tube. This specimen and the preceding erf 0. textum' have become silicified, and the internal charac- tei-s of the septa and siphuncle are obliterated. From limestone of the age of the Hamilton group.

The septate portion is covered with the test and shows the surface charactere. The chamber of habitation i-etains fragments of the test and shows the internal mould, which is marked by a decided constric- tion of the tube near the aperture, and a more gentle constriction near the base of the chamber. The ai>erture is entii-e, and a small fragment of the test presents its natural acute margin. Goniatite limestone. Schoharie, N. Y. V\g. 17.

A fragment showing the internal mould of the air-chambers and the characters of the organic deposit. The larger extremity preserves three longitudinal carinae, of which the central one is stronger, and marks the ventral side of the tube. Proceeding in the direction of the apex, the organic deposit is firat exhibited as small, iiTegular masses of calcareous matter, arranged somewhat symmetrically in regard to the venti-al line. It increases in amount and complexity, until, at the smaller extremity, the cavities of the air-chambei-s are nearly filled with the dep )8it. Goniatite limestone. Manlius, iV. Y. Orthoceras cochleatum. Page 308. Fig. 19. An individual nearly entire, showing the form of the tube and the curvature and obliquity of the septal sutures. The chamber of habitation shows a slight constriction of the tube near the aperture, with a contraction at the aperture, and preserves traces of transverse lamellose surface-markings.

A small fragment preserving a portion of the gr..nd chamber, with ten attached air-chambers, showing the prominent annulations on the chamber of habitation, and their absence over the septate portion. The intei-nal mould preserves traces of sharp longitudinal striae and trans- veree lines of growth. ^uarMvmtO PLATE GXlll— Continued. Tig. tl. A fragment of another individual showing nearly the same characters as the preceding'. In this example the air-chambers include several annulations, and are much deeper than in the smooth portion of the tube.
