This specimen is recorded as from the lower horizon, the Peilintze limestone, whereas the others occur in the upper or Liangchiashan limestone of the Shih-Mun-Chai district. The specimen in question may represent a distinct species. Horizons anp Locatrry: Two specimens of this species were obtained by Dr. F. F. Mathieu from the Liangchiashan limestone at Liang-Chia-Shan, Shih-Mun-Chai near Chingwangtao, eastern Chihli province. Another specimen with finer annulations and siphuncele less flattened ventrally, was obtained from the Chih/ioceras or Peilintze limestone of the same region (this may possibly be a case of mislabelling). The former horizon is the upper part of the Lower Ordovician. Family CHIHLIOCERATID4 Grabau (fam. nov.) Genus CHIHLIOCERAS Grabau (gen. nov.)

The sections (text figs. 8 and 9) show that the walls of the alveolar cavities are infoldcd portions of the sheath, which, when considered separately i. e. as if freed from the enclosing organic lime - deposit, represents the aspect shown by the modcl, illustrated in text figs. 4 and 5. The walls, Vol I. Grabau—Ordovician Fossils from North China (1) 47 which separate the lateral from the main alveolar cavities, are thus double, with the addition of the crystalline, organically deposited lime (stereoplasm) between the two layers. This is diagrammatically represented in text figures 7 and 10, which represent respectively transverse and longitudinal sections through these walls, (for location see text fig. 7), and can be recognized from an inspection of figs. 8 and 9, which represent the actual oblique sections through both walls. That an endosiphuncle extends from the base of the main alveolus to the apex of the siphuncle is suggested by the occur- rence of the apical endosiphuncular scar seen on all the specimens, and is further suggested by the appearance of what seems to be a ‘ , . .

The main or median alveolar cavity has been much reduced, being subtriangular in outline, and only occupying the central third of the endosheath. The cavity too is short, though probably prolonged in the endosiphuncle. The dorso-lateral alveolar cavities are deep, and lenticular in section, the inner side being gently concave instead of rectangular. The parti- tions between the cavities are very thick, formed by the bent-over endosheath, with a thick filling of crystalline lime between. The crystalline filling (probably aragonite) has a radial structure where seen in section of the entire siphuncle. The outer wall of the dorso-lateral alveolar cavities was appar- . ‘ 2 £ my : 7 eee eee ently formed |y the wall of the siphuncle.

(Notation as in fig. 7.) — shown in the specimen figured (Plate II, fig. 13a). In none of the specimens so far obtained has a camerate portion been preserved. All the specimens are annulated, the annulations being essentially of the type seen on the siphuncle of Piloceras. This suggests a camerate structure but does not prove it. The annuli appear to be slightly oblique, converging forward on the ventral side. This suggests, that if cameree were present they were mainly developed on the dorsal and lateral (1) 48 Palvontologia Sinica Ser. B surfaces of the siphuncle, as would naturally be the case in a structure which, as these evidently did, rested upon the ventral surface. No specimen is however known with a complete ventral surface, and the convergence is only shown by a slight obliquity upon the sides. Fig. 12.0 Chiklioceras —na- than’. Diagrammatic longitud- inal section in the median plane along the line ¢-/. in fig. 7. (Notation as in fig. 7.) As indicative of the position of the specimens, it may be noted that in one slab of rock, both sides of which were weath- ered, and in which four specimens of C. nathant were found, three, on the same side of the slab, exposed the dorsal side (Plate V.) (this was apparently the upper surface of the slab though sufficient care was not taken at the time of collecting to determine this) while the fourth, on the opposite side of the stratum (apparently the under side), exposed the weathered ventral surface (Plate IV fig. 18). This slab was cut apart, essentially parallel to the bedding plane, and the two cut surfaces show the sections of the dorsal portion of the lower specimen, these being shown in Plate II, figs. 11 and 12. The position of the longitudinal axis of the lower specimen was however approximately at right angles to that of the upper specimens. The remarkalle character of the siphuncle warrants the placing of this genus into a distinet family, that of the CHIHLIOcERATIDZ. The characters of this new family may be summarized as follows: Relatively short and stout holochoanitic othoceracones (and cyrtoceracones?) with large siphuncle, generally divided by. endosheaths, and filled with organically deposited calcium carbonate, Final endosheath prolonged into a ventral blade, and characterized by median and lateral endocones. Camere unknown, but if present, apparently as in Piloccrus. Ordovician. Plate I fig. Chihlioceras nathani Grabau (sp. nov.) 10; Plate {T, figs. 11, 12; Plate IV, fig. 13; Plate V; Text figures 2-13, Siphunele beginning with a regular rounded end, characterized by a subcentral mammillon with a large central sear, which marks the beginning of the endosiphuncele. The expansion is rapid so that in the space of about 16 mm. from the apex (in the Vol I. Grabau—Ordovician Fossils from North China (1) 49 central specimen shown in Plate V) it has reached a diameter of 30 mm. From this point the expansion is regular, until at about the point near the apex of the median endocone, about 40 mm. farther (or 56 mm. from the apex of the siphuncle) the lateral diameter is 40 mm. This gives a rate of tapering of 1 mm. in 4. The earlier portion is regularly rounded, while the part occupied by the endocone is somewhat flattened on the ventral side. The endocone occupies something more than one half the length of the shell, inclusive of the anterior blade. The apical portion in the center is rounded dorsally and flat or gently concave on the ventral side, its section thus being semi-circular or compressed suboval, with the ventral side curved to a greater radius. Proceeding forward, the concave central portion narrows and flattens, while the sides of the blade hecome strongly and sharply depressed, until near the anterior portion of the blade they form less than a right angle with the side. The aperture of the endocone, i. e. the edge formed by its meeting with the shell of the siphunele, is oblique to the axis of the siphuncle, the most projecting portion being the center of the blade (see the restoration, text figs. 2 and 3). Lateral alveoli of the endocone shorter than the main cavity. In the specimen Fig. 13. Chihlioceras nathan’.

The inner walls of these latcral alveoli form approxi- through lateral part of me- ; ; : : dian, and one lateral alveo- mately a right angle, and consist of the reduplication of the Jus (Notation as in fig. 7.) endosheath with crystalline calcium carbonate filling between. The outer wall of the lateral alveoli is convex and between it and the wall of the siphuncle, there is a thick layer of crystalline lime (organic deposit) which decreases wedge-like towards the rim of the endocone. (Text figure 10). These lateral alveoli of the endocone hold a position above the base of the main endoconice cavity, so that there are distinct lateral chambers proceeding froin this main median chamber, and in position ventral to the lateral alveoli. This is clearly shown by the sections (Plate IT figs. 11 and 12) and is represented in the model of the endosheath illustrated in text fig. 4. The endosheath itself (i. e. the wall of the endocone) has a thickness of half a millimeter or less, but because of the filling of crystalline hme between the reduplicated portions, which form the lateral and median alveoli, the thickness of the compound wall separating these alveoli may be from 2.5 to 6 mm. (See the sections of these walls in figs. 11 and 12 Plate II). (1) 50 Palxontologia Sinica Ser. B The older portion of the siphuncle is filled solidly with crystalline calcium carbonate, this occupying the entire space between the wall of the endocone (final endosheath), and probably its endo-siphuncular prolongation, and the wall or shell of the siphuncle. here are however indications of one or more earlier endosheaths (See sections figs. 1l and 12 Plate II, and Plate V middle figure). The difference in the character of the outer zone of the solid portion of the siphuncle from that forming the inner portion, observalle both in the worn specimen (Plate V, middle figure) and in the sections (Plate II figs. 11 and 12) suggest that at first the siphunecle was filled with closely set endosheaths (which in the large specimen of the group on Plate V formed a thickness of about 7 mm.), and then crystalline calcium carbonate (aragonite?) was deposited by the animal, without further formation of definite endosheaths, until the final one was formed by the adult animal. The appearance of these older endosheaths suggests their similarity to those of Piloceras, or to a primitive form from which both Chihlioceras and Piloceras were derived.* The wall or shell of the siphuncle is thin but continuous. It is annulated, though indistinctly so, near the apical portion, while forward, the annulations become pronounced and regular. The annuli present a long gently convex forward slope and a shorter more abrupt, but still convex apical slope. There are 10 of these annuli in the space of 35 mm., giving them an average width of 3.6 mm. There is however a gradual increase in the width, the posterior ones leing less than 3 mm. wide. The depressions between the annuli are very shallow. While this is the character in the earlier portion of the siphunele, continuing for varying lengths in different specimens, it gradually changes in the later - formed portion, where the annuli become narrowly rounded, with broad gently concave interspaces. In the specimen shown in fig. 13 Pl. IV, this type of annulation begins about 30 mm. from the apex, and there are 10 annuli in the space of 38 mm., these also increasing slightly in width forward. The annuli are oblique, bending forward on the ventral side. The angle which they form with the axis of the siphuncle on the side of the siphuncle, was found in one case to be about 30 degrees, but less than that in another specimen. Their ventral aspect is unknown. Camere not known, none of the specimens showing any indications of them other than the annulations of the siphuncle. Though this annulation is suggestive of a camerate nature of the shell, it is not a positive indication, as camerate shells with * In the locality from which these specimens were obtained, they are restricted to the lower division, while Piloceras occurs in the higher division, with one doubtful representation in the lower, ot I. Grabau—Ordovician Fossils from North China (1) 51 obliquely annulated outer wall are found in higher Ordovician beds of this region. The general similarity of the annulations to those of the siphuncle of Piloceras may indicate, however, a similar camerated shell. Horizon anp Locarrry: This species has been found in the Peilintze limestone associated with Archxocyathus, Ophileta syuamosa etc., in the Shih-Mun-Chat region near Chingwangtao, Lingyiihsien district, Chihli province. Several specimens were collected by Dr. F. F. Mathieu of the Kailan Mining Administration. The horizon is Lower Ordovician. The specific name is given in honor of Mr. W. 8. Nathan, president of the Kailan Mining Administration, in appreciation of his keen interest in the development of Chinese geology, and his recognition of the important place which stratigraphic and paleontologic problems hold in the practical development of mining interests.

Siphuncle longer and more cylindrical than in the preceding species, tapering at the rate of 1 mm. in 6; section subcireular. Interior filled with erystalline calcium carbonate, which has an indistinct radial structure. This occupies the space between the shell or wall of the siphuncle on the one hand, and the wall of the compound endocone (final endosheath) on the other. There are no indications of older sheaths, though these may occur in the apical portion which is unknown. Endosiphuncle apparently central, but the indications are faint. Wall of the endocone prolonged forward in a flat blade which slopes forward, forming an angle of 12 degrees with the dorsal surface of the siphuncle (See text fig. 14). If the rate of tapering is uniform, the length of the anterior blade would approximate 110 mm, The blade is flat, except for a slight median longitudinal depression, most: marked in the alveolar portion. The lateral margins of the blade form a sharp angle witb the sides of the siphuncle, and the wall or shell of the latter was evidently continued over at least the posterior part of the blade. Posteriorly the |lade ends in the median alveolus, the base of which occupies one third of the width of the siphuncle. Its height is slightly less than the basal width, and its form is subtriangular but with curved sides. Its position is approximately in the center of the siphuncle or slightly above it. Its depth has not been ascertained, as some of the matrix which filled it, has not been removed. The partition between it and the lateral alveoli is thick, being from 7 to 8mm, at the (ij ae Palxontologia Sinica Ser. B rounded forward end, and increasing in thickness apicad.

CuHane INTRODUCTION The material described in this paper was collected by Mr. C. C. Yii, geo- logist to the Institute of Geology, National Research Institute, at Taihungshan, Nanchang Hsien, Hupeh (Waki ge #Ci) in 1928. When the writer joined the Geological Survey last February it was kindly put into his hands for study at the suggestion of Professor Grabau. To Mr. Yu he, therefore, wishes to ex- press his sincere thanks. Tc Professor Grabau under whose svmpathetic and in- Spiring guidance the study was made, he is also greatly indebted. STRATIGRAPHY OF THE NeicutA FORMATION. In his illuminating study of the geology of the Yangtze Gorges Professor J. S. Lee first established the Neichiashan Series, now designated the Neichia Formation. It was subdivided into two parts, an upper, the Pagoda Limestone and a lower, the Triplecia Beds (New Yangtzeella Beds). The Pagoda Lime- stone is a dense gray rock, cnly a few meters thick and characterized by the gigantic Orthoceras chinense Foord. The Triplecia (Yangtzeella) Beds, on the other hand, ccnsist of an alternation of a dirty green, calcareous shale and slabby brown- ish-yellow or light grey limestones of a rather earthy composition with a thin- bedded grey limestone at the base. The slabby limestones are evervwhere crowd- ed with Triplecia (Yangtzeella) poloi and Clitambonites giraldii. In the list of fossils Professor Lee gave the following species: Triplecia (Yangtzeella) poloi Martelli (very abundant) Clitambonites giraldii Martelli Cg eo Orthis calligramma Dalman (not rare ) Eccyliopteris sinensis Frech (abundant) Vaginoceras duplex Wahlenb. (44 ) * Reccived for publication in 1931. (111) 6 Palxontologia Sinica Ser. B. Discoceras curasiaticum Frech (Common) Endoceras sp. (abundant) Cycloceras sp. (very abundant) Cytroceras sp. (rare) Asaphus cf. expansus Dalman (rare) In agreement with Frech, Grabau, Hayasaka, Weller and others, Professor Lee concluded that the Neichia Series undoubtedly represents Middle Ordovician or the lowest part of the Upper Ordovician, being approximately equivalent to the Vaginoceras limestone of the Baltic Provinces of Russia. In Nanchang Hsien of northern Hupeh Mr. C. C. Yu found the Neichia formation resting conformably on the Ichang limestone. Here as in western Hupeh, the Neichia is ccmposed of two parts, a lower yellowish-green shale and an upper yellowish-green limestone. The fossils from each were preliminarily de- termined by Mr. Yui as follows: (a) Fossils found in the lower shale Graptozoa: Didymograptus murchisoni Didymograptus sp. (several species) Brachiopoda: Orthis sp. (several species) Orthis calligramma Dalm. Dalmanella sp. Dinorthis sp. Ostracoda: Leperditia sp. Trilobita: Asaphus sp. Asaphus hupehensis Sun and Yu Taihungshania shui Sun and Yi Illaenus nanchangensis Sun and Yi Bronteus sp. Bathyurus minor Sun and Yu (b) Fossils found in the upper limestone Cephalopoda: Cycloceras sp. Orthoceras sp. (several species) Orthoceras chinense Foord Vaginocer as chientzekouense Yit The lower shale unquestionably represents the Triplecia Beds while the upper limestcne is the Pagoda Limestone. Because of the presence of the Char- acteristic graptolite Didymograptus murchisoni Mr. Yu correlated the former with © Vol. TI. M.S. Chang :—Brachiopoda from the Orthis Bed (111) 7 of the Neichia Formation the Llandeilo of Great Britain and the latter with the Orthoceras limestone of Sweden and the Vaginoceras limestone of the Baltic Province of Russia. From the above lists of fossils it seems evident that in the Gorge District, Yangtzeella. polot is the dominant fossil in the lower shale, but at Taihungshan, Nanchang Hsien its place is taken by Orthis and others. In spite cf careful search Mr. Yii failed to discover a single specimen of Yangtzeella. The name ‘‘Triplecia or Yangtzeella Beds’’ is then not applicable in this case and the new term ‘‘Orthis Bed’ is, therefore, introduced. Most of the specimens in this lot are impressions of the interior or the ex- terior part of the shell. In crder to reproduce the true nature of the fossils the making of molds is necessary. Unless otherwise stated, the following descriptions are based on the characters of the molds, rather than on those of the specimens themselves. DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES Genus LINGULA Bruguiere 1.

It is oval or ovate in cutline, with the broadest part across or below the middle. The beak is not shown, though the posterior region suggests slight tapering. The valve is mcderately and evenly convex. The surface is so weathered that it does not show any concentric lines of growth or markings of any other kind. Remarks: The state of preservation of this species renders a precise deter- mination impossible.

XXXV, figs. 1-17, varieties, figs. 18-24, (with literature references). This species is represented by one internal mold of the pedicle valve. It is subquadrate to subsemicircular, wider than high and broadest at the hinge line. (11) 8 Palxontolo jia Sinica Ser, B. The pedicle valve is convex, mcre so in the beak region. The beak is broken but a rostral cone is shown resting on the inner surface of the hinge area of the pedicle valve. The cone is somewhat triangular in shape, little extended and separated from the hinge line by two triangular depressions one on each side. The surface is covered by about twenty-one simple, rounded and radiating plications with the wider interspaces occupied by four or five fine longitudinal striz. Where the weathering has net been complete concentric growth lines can be also seen. Measurements: Greatest width = 17 mm Hinge line = ly Wim Height = 15 mni Proportion of height to width* = 1.31 Davidson's Orthis calligramma gives the following measurements: Fig. 8, Pl.

Its form suggests Orthis carausii but the plications of our shell are less rounded and with the interspaces occupied by fine longitudinal strie. Horizon and Locauity: Occurs with the preceding. Coll.

I, Fig. 3a) is an external impression of i pedicle valve. It is transversely subcircular and wider than high. The hinge line is a little shorter than the greatest width which lies about the middle part of the shell. The pedicle valve is convex, the central region, extending from the beak * The height is taken as 1. Vol. I. M.S. Chang :—Brachiopoda from the Orthis Bed (11) 9 of the Newchia Formation to the anterior part, being more pronounced, thus suggesting the presence of a slight fold. The beak is small and shows little incurvature. The surface ornamentation consists of twenty-four simple and round plications, the middle six being more strongly developed. Near the beak the interspaces between the plications are very narrow or nearly absent, but they expand very quickly, till at the anterior part of the shell they measure one mm. cr a little more. They are also occupied by two or three fine longitudinal striz. Measurements: Greatest width = 13 mm Hinge line = 12 mm Height = 11 mm Proportion of height to width = 1.18 Another specimen of the same species (Ser. No. X232, Pl.

It is subsemicircular, considerably wider than high, and has the hinge line equal te the greatest width. The valve is almost flat, with a gentle sinus covering about seven plications along the middle. The surface is marked by about thirty- two round plications which show branchings and bifurcations here and there. The plications in the central] part are stronger than those on the sides, thus giving the shell a three-zoned appearance. The interspaces are wider and contain fine Icng- itudinal as well as faint transverse lamellose strie.

The valve is moderately con- vex in the central region, the sides being coniparatively depressed. The beak is un- known, but a rostral cone is present, Which is slightly incurved and bounded on the sides by two crescentic grooves.

Its cardinal extremities are less extended and its convexity is not so strong. Its plications are also not sc numerous, but they show branchings in one or two places.

The exterior impression of a typical brachial valve (Ser. Ne. X 218, Pl. I, Fig. 7a) is subquadrate and wider than high. The hinge line is shorter than the greatest width which lies about the middle of the shell. The valve is moderately flat with a sinal depression along the central portion. The surface is ornamented by about thirty-three simple and rounded plications with slightly wider interspaces which are occupied by very fine longitudinal and transverse lamellose strie. The sinus is bounded by two plications which bifurcate about two mm. below the beak. In its center are found four plications which are a little stronger than the others.

Text-Fig 3. Arrangement of the sinal plications in specimen No. X 220. An internal mold of the pedicle valve is shown by No. X 215, Pl. I, Fig. 10a. It is convex, with the beak region slightly incurved. The fold is not prominent. The surface ornamentation consists of more than forty plications which show more bifurcations and intercalations along the fold than in any other place. An impression of the exterior of the pedicle valve (No. X 219 Pl. I, Fig. 11a) is a little larger and has a slight fold (representing the sinus). Its plications are much more numerous because of their prcfuse intercalations and bifurcations. Remarks. This species is characterized by a distinct though ill-defined fold in the pedicle valve and a well-developed sinus in the brachial valve. It resembles Orthis calligramma only in having striz in the interspaces of the plications. In the order described the plications increase in number and grow more complicated. Whether this represents a state of progressive evolution is difficult to say, because the specimens at hand are too few to offer a definite explanation.

The species is of subelliptical outline, much wider than high. The hinge line is nct well preserved, the shoulders sloping gently from the beak to the cardinal extremities which ap- parently mark the greatest width. The interior mold shows the rostral cone separat- (11) 14 Palzontologia Sinica Ser. B. ed from the plicated part by a U-shape groove. The surface is covered by about twenty angular and rather simple plications with wider interspaces and intercala- tions and branchings here and there. Measurements : Greatest width = 6 mm Height =4 ,, Preportion of height to width = 1.50 On the same slab is another specimen of the same species. The valve is a litile more convex than No. X 201. The rostral cone shown in the interior mold is larger and is separated from the plications by two more or less parallel grooves which do not meet antericrly and thus become U-shaped as in the case of No. X 209. The grooves become less and less deep as they recede from the beak, till in the anterior part of the cone there remains only a trace of them. Remarks: This species is very much hke Orthis calligramma Dalman, var! Reed (figs. 16-19, pl. V, the Ordovician and Silurian Brachiopoda of the Girvan District). It differs in not having fine longitudinal lines within the interspaces of the plicaticns and faint transverse lamellose strie. Owing to Reed’s uncertainty with regard to his specimen a new specific name is here proposed. As noted by him this may be simply the young of Orthis calligramma Dalman, but for the pre- sent we will leave it under a distinctive designation. Horizon AND Locatity: Occurs with the preceding.

This species is represented by a number of melds of both the pedicle and the brachial valves. It is wider than high and has a hinge line which is a little less than the greatest width and the frontal margin regularly curved. The pedicle valve is gently convex, the beak being slightly incurved. The rostral cone is pear- shaped and marked off from the plicated portion by two crescentic grooves which become gradually less deep as they pass farther from the beak. On the surface cf the conc are found seven longitudinal raised lines, the middle one being stronger than the rest and seemingly continuous with the median plication. The brachial valve is flat. A triangular restral cone with a groove occupied by a tongue- shaped prcjection which does not reach the top, extends bevond the hinge line. It Vot. J: M.S.

The sides of the delthyrium are supported by delicate subparallel dental plates which in the impression of the exterior, suggest a rectangular rostral cone with sides about one mm. in length. The surface is covered by about forty rounded plications, many of them showing intercalations. Concentric lamellose strie are also present.

It is a little wider than high and has the greatest width at the hinge line. The beak region is filled by the broken rostral cone, margined by the delicate subparallel dental plates. The shellis convex, being most pronounced alcng the central region thus giving a steeply crescentiform section. The surface is ornamented by round and bifurcating plications, the number of which is indeterminable on account of the broken conditions of the shell.

The pedicle valve is uniformly convex and rather strongly arched. The beak is moderately protuberant and a little incurved. The surface orna- mentation consists of round plications which bifurcate into smaller and secondary plications at varying distances from the beak. Because of this feature the inter- spaces are very narrow. There are cn the average eight plice in five mm. at the front.

This species is represented by a number of specimens, most of them being imperfect. Our best preserved pedicle valve (x 245, Pl. II, Fig. 12a) is semicir- cular in outline. The hinge line is slightly shorter than the greatest width which lies about the central part of the shell. The pedicle valve is moderately convex, more or less strongly arched in front. The beak is small and pointed; the hinge area smooth and narrow. The surface is covered by radiating and rather fine plications of unequal strength, which bifurcate and intercalate at various distances from the beak.

The brachiopod fauna cf the Yangtzeella Beds of the Gorge district is not yet fully known. Several years ago Miss Kolarova made a study but her results have not yet been published. Judging from the preliminary fossil lists of Pro- fessor Lee and Mr. Yui and comparing Miss Kcolarova’s material with the one des- cribed in this paper it at once becomes evident that Yangtzeella and Clitambonttes are the dominant brachiopods in western Hupeh while Orthis takes their place in northern Hupeh as alreadly pointed out in the introduction. A difference of faunal facies like this can lead te but one conclusion; namely, the existence of a different horizon in the northern district. Whether or not the fact is such and what is the exact relation of the horizon to the Yangtzeella Beds in the Gorge District if it does exist, remain to be substantiated by further and more detailed stratigra- phical work. o> (ii) 2 Palwontologia Sinica Ser.

Ptychaspis subglobosa Grabau also occurs in the same character of limestone (limestone conglomerate) of the Féngshan formation, Manswyia orientalis (Grabau) Sun is also the most common species in that formation. The succession of the strata and the palzeontology clearly indicates that this formation is the equivalent of Féngshan limestone of Chihli, and certainly belongs to the upper part of the Upper Cambrian, Agnostus eyclopygeformis Sun is very closely related to the European form ul, cyclopyge of Sweden, This indicates that the Upper Cambrian sea of China had a close connection with that of Europe. That is why many Chinese and European forms appear to be identical. Ptychaspis angulata Mansuy is found abundantly in the Upper part of the Upper Cambrian of Tonking, it is also present in this formation. Hence this formation is equivalent to Pfychaspis angulata zone of Indo-China. The discovery of the new genus (nudraticephalus of the family Dikelocephalinee which comprises the characteristic form of the Upper Camlvian of North America is of considerable interest and significance, Vol, [ Sun—Cambrian Faunas of North Chins (iv) 13. The presence of Clonograptus and the Cyrtoceras figured by Walcott is of signifi- cance, because both are more typical of the Ordovician and must at least be regarded as transition types of the Cambro-Ordovician strata. The graptolite was found several years ago by Mr. K. W. Hsu during an excursion to the locality in charge of Dr. H. W. Wong. T agree with Dr. Walcott in putting this formation in the Upper Cambrian, but I regret that I cannot follow him in including this formation in the Chaumitien limestone. I am disposed to separate this formation under a new name, the Kaolishan (Kaoli) formation, and to refer it to the uppermost part of the Upper Cambrian. b. CuHaumirien. }KJE This is the type locality for the Chaumitien limestone which was named by Willis and Blackwelder. Near the top of that limestone, we found a new horizon characterized by a transition fauna. The name of Chaumitien limestone, I think, should be restricted to the lower part of that formation, while the upper beds characterized by the Ordovician types should be given a separate name. The following species are found in the upper zone: Brachiopoda 1. Billingsella sp. Cephalopoda 2. Loxoceras cambria Sun* 2. Orthoceras nanshanensis Sun* Trilobita 4, Changia chinensis Sun Ptychaspis acamus var. punctata Sun On 6. Ptychaspis tani Sun Ptychaspis and Billingsella are the characteristic fossils of Upper Cambrian while Loxoceras and Orthoceras are apparently Ordovician forms. Because the presence of Ptychaspis acamus Walcott I am constrained to put this horizon in very late Cambrian rather than basal Ordovician, and consider that the cepha- lopod element is a new invasion. It is evident that this formation, characterized by the mixed fauna, should not be included in the Chaumitien limestone which is now restricted to those lower beds charac- terized by Wurmkalke (intraformational conglomerates). This upper horizon, however, may be the equivalent of the Féngshan series of Chihli. * These will be described in a reparate paper by the Author. (iv) 14 Palzontologia Sinica Ser. B. ce. Tawenkovu. AX This place, 50 li south of Tai-An, is well known for Stone- swallows. This formation is very fossiliferous and of Kushan age. The lower part furni- shes a large number of Drepanuras while the upper contains some Blackwelderias and Damesellas. The following species were found in this formation: 1. Dyrepanura premesnili Bergeron 2. Drepanura ketteler1 Monke 3. Agnostus douvillii Bergeron 4. Liostracina krausii Monke 5. Shantungia spinifera Walcott 6. Agnostus kushanensis Walcott 7.

Manto shale Manto shale Manto shale From the lithological, and stratigraphic relations, and the Paleontology, it is clear that the early Middle Cambrian sea, must have been free from mechanical sediments to permit the formation of oolitic limestone and then become gradually shallow in the late Middle Cambrian and the Upper Cambrian time permitting the formation of shales and intraformational conglomerates. The Lower Cambrian sea of China had no connection with the Atlantic or the Boreal province; but the Middle Cambrian was to some extent confluent with the Boreal and west American Provinces, and more particularly was this the case in Upper Cambri- an time. A number of American genera, and even species are found in this country, though, on the whole the faunas are quite distinct. DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES Class GRAPTOZOA Grabau Genus CLONOGRAPTUS Hall Clonograptus? Cambria Sun (sp. nov.) Plate I. Fig. 1. This species is only represented by one stipe slightly curved. Stipe somewhat rigid and slender. Thece fifteen to sixteen in 10 mm., slender tubes inclined 30° or more. Apertural margins concave oblique, conspicuously mucro- nate. Each theca averages 1.5 mm. in length and 0.5 mm. in width. Maximum width of stipe about 1 mm. Tn form this species resembles Clonograptus tenellus from the Dictyonema shale of Sweden and England; but it differs in that it has 15 or 16 thecee in 10 mm. while in C. tenellus only 10 thece are found in 10 mm. As the generic determination is mainly (iv) 16 Palzxontologia Sinica Ser. B. based on the number of stipes, and only one stipe of this species is known, the generic determination of this specimen is still somewhat doubtful. This species occurs in a thin slab of gray limestone which was collected several years ago by Mr. kK. W. Hsu ((@f#) of National South Eastern University.

One specimen from Luanchou contains the trails of an annelid, which apparently belongs to Climactichnites. The trails of Climactichnites were also found in the Upper Cambrian of New York and Wisconsin, N. America. Woodworth suggests that the animals which made these trails were mollusks ca- paple of crawling up from the water at low tide, while Walcott thinks the trails were certainly made by annelids. T agree with Dr. Walcott, because many annelids have been found in the Cam- brian strata. The Chinese form is represented by an impression of the trails on the under side of the rock, which clearly shows the character in relief, It is small, being only 3.5 mm. in width having 8 grooves in 1 em, indicating that it was the trail of an annelid of ordinary size. This species is quite distinct from any known foreign species. I take pleasure in naming it in honor of Dr. F. F, Mathieu, geologist of the Kailan Mining Administration.

Shell small, elongate egg-shaped with both posterior and anterior end obtusely rounded: depressed-convex, the frontal margin obtusely rounded; width gradually increases from the frontal margin to the middle ofthe shell. Beak obtuse with an angle of 110°; greatest width is in the middle of the shell. The outer surface usually has a glistening appearance and is marked by regular fine but sharp concentric strice and coarser lines of growth at frequent intervals. When the outer shell is exfoliated, it is distinctly marked by many elongated pustules, and the frontal margin by very fine radiating striw. This species is represented by three specimens all apparently ventral valves. It presents quite distinct a form from any known Chinese species. This species resembles Lingulella ferruginea Salter in general appearance, but differs in the character of the shell, in the more elongated form, and in the absence of the distinct radiating striw.

There that species is associated with another shorter and rounder form (Qbolus) which appears to be identical with the smaller form associated with our species. The associated trilobites in the Liau-Tung region comprise Conoce- phalites frequens, Anomocare latelimbatum, Agnostus chinensis. The last two species are referred by Walcott to the Middle Cambrian whereas our specimens are associated with Upper Cambrian trilobites. It is not impossible that the specimens described by Kayser belong to distinct species, They are larger than our specimens and apparently without their ornamentation but agree closely with them in form and proportions.

Dr. Walcott referred the specimen figured by Kayser to Lingulella davisia (McCoy), from which however our species is quite different. McCoy’s species is charac- terized by relatively greater width, by a more nearly rectangular umbonal region, and by the lack of the characteristic ornamentation found in our species, though this may also be absent in the specimens figured by Kayser.

All the specimens representing this species are flattened by compression on the argillaceous shale, and are also more or less distorted. General form subcircular except for the straight posterior margin. Pedicle valve flat due to compression with the apex 2.5 mm. from the posterior margin. A triangular false area extends from the apex to the margin; it is defined by a slight depression and a low ridge at the outer edges; surface marked by numerous more or less regular lines of growth, but not marked by radiating lines. Nothing is known of the interior characters, This species is characterized by its subcircular form, numerous concentric growth striee and the position of the apex. A shell 10.5 mm. in width has a length of 9.5 mm, while another measures 9 mm. in length and 9.3 in width.

Ribs increase by bifurcation and with nodes on their crests; they are broad, the interspaces being narrower than the ribs. A median sinus moderately distinct extends from the umbo to the frontal margin of the shell. The plications of the shell and the form suggest Huenella; but the nodes on the crests of the ribs serve to distinguish it. All species of Huenella except etheridgia are from the Upper Cambrian.

His full description is as tollows:— ‘General form irregularly oval with the ventral view obtusely angular toward the apex; rounded, biconvex, with a deep mesial sinus on the ventral and a strong median fold on the anterior half of the dorsal valves. (iv) 26 Palxontologin Sinica Ser. B. “Surface smooth, with the exception of a few concentric striae and lines of growth. “The ventral valve has a strong median sinus that occupies about one-third of the width of the valve at the anterior margin and projects forward to fit into the fold in the front of the margin of the dorsal valves; the sides of the median sinus are elevated and, with the downward curving lateral slopes, form a strong rounded ridge on each side of the sinus; none of the specimens in the collection show the area, but from the profile of the valve it must have heen of moderate height, with a rather short apex curving over it. ‘Dorsal valve with a minute apex from which a narrow, slightly developed median fold extends out to about the center of the shell, where it becomes elevated and projects forward to the front margin; the remaining portions of the surface are uniformly convex, sloping away from the median fold to the margin of the valves’’ (Walcott 1923). In our collection, an internal mold of the ventral valve was discovered. I add to the original description the following: Othoid form, moderately convex, with a strong median sinus which occupies about one third the width of the valve at the anterior margin; the sides of the median sinus are elevated, and with the downward sloping lateral slopes form a strong, rounded ridge on each side of the sinus. Spondylium free not supported by median septum and marked by subparallel ridges, merging into the median sinus. Hinge line long forming about the greatest width of the shell; postero-cardinal angles angular.
