It may be questionable whether the existence of a sutural band is of sjiecific importance, and the degree of development of this feature in diflerent individuals suggests a doubt as to the reliance of this chai"acter for sj)ecific distinction between L.Hamiltmiias and L. delphicola.

Fig. 17. A specimen showing the insertion of one individual within another ; the outer broken margin being of the shell, and the intermediate portion the filling of mineral matter between the two. It is prebable that some of the iiregular specimens referi-ed to intermittent growth may be due to conditions similar to fig. 17 ; but in other examples it is clearly the mode of growth.

The apices are slii^htly bulbiform ; and on figure 27 there are obsolescent stria;, while figures 26 and 28 are smooth. From the compact layer composed of the shells of Styliola, in the Genesee slate. Cayuga creek, Erie loanty, N. Y.

' compression, and the mode of accretion, the specimens are often regularly striated, as repre-
sented in these figures ; and in two specimens of 0. subulatum, illustrated on plate 84, exhibit ■ the same conditions in the anterior air-chambers : giving the appearance termed " slickensides."

fig. 1. Ventml(1) view of an individual, pi-esei-ving a portion of the chamber of habitation and twenty-five air-cbaiiibei-s, showing the form of the shell, the " dorsal lobe " and the cui'vature of the sutures. 'ITie greater iK)rtiou of the shell has been tilled and replaced by iron pyrites, which has formed an irregular mass at the upper exti-emity of the chamber of habitation. The apical air- chambere have not been filled with this mineral, and are macerated and disturbed by com- pression. Marcellus shale. Schoharie, N. Y.
Vig. 3 id. An enlargement of five air-charabei-s, showing the different aspects of the " doi-sal lobe," as pro- duced by the exfoliation of the test. In no case is it a sinus in the septal margins, but is a hiatus in the walls of the internal mould of the air-chambei's, fi'om the contact of the siphun- calar tube with the inner surface of the test.
Pig. 8 id. Lateral view of three air-chambers, showing the curvature of the sutures over the lateral face of the tube, and the concavity of the septa in a dorso-ventral dii-ection. The tube of the siphuncle is slightly pi-ojecting from the lower septum, nnd the septa are somewhat advanced on this side.

Pig. 7. An enlargement of a longitudinal section of three air-chambers, showing the concavity of the septa and the large central siphuncle, without any expansions of its tube or cii-cumposed organic deposit.

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.

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
