Fossil invertebrates All Q Q Q 1Q77 Field Museum of natural history University o1 Illinois at Urbana-Champaign INTRODUCTION This catalogue of type and referred specimens of fossil Mis- cellanea in Field Museum of Natural History has the same coverage as Volume W (Miscellanea) of the Treatise on Invertebrate Paleon- tology (Moore, 1962), except that conodonts and hyolithids are omitted. The first section lists "worms," scolecodonts (fossil anne- lid jaws), and problematic body fossils. The second section is com- prised of small conoidal shells of uncertain affinities (defined by Fisher, 1962). Trace fossils (tracks, trails, burrows) are listed in the third section. In each section, specimens are listed under the originally des- cribed name. The date and authorship of the specific name are al- ways given. Genera, and species within genera, are arranged alpha- betically. Unnamed species (for example, Cornulites sp.) follow all named species in chronological order. Vernacular names (for exam- ple, "Fucoid") follow all scientific names in alphabetical order. Library of Congress Catalog Card No. : 76-53445 GEOLOGY Publication 1259 1 2 FIELDIANA: GEOLOGY, VOLUME 37 Only holotypes are recognized as valid types. All other primary and secondary types, including "paratypes," "cotypes," and "plesio types," are listed as "referred specimens." Artificial casts are indicated as "plastoholotype" or "plastoplesiotype," and the depository of the original specimen is indicated. Specimens origi- nally deposited in the Walker Museum, University of Chicago, now on permanent loan to Field Museum, are prefixed UC. Specimens prefixed P, PE, PF, and PP were deposited directly into the collec- tions of Field Museum. Others prefixed H, HTP, and W were origi- nally described from private collections, but now bear PE numbers. We have attempted to list all nomenclatorial changes affecting our specimens. Changes based on specimens other than ours are given under "Remarks." Scolecodonts described by Gries (1944) are not listed in the "worm" section of this catalogue. Although the specimens were to be deposited in the Walker Museum (J. P. Gries and F. C. Potter, pers. comm., 1975), they were apparently never catalogued, and have not been relocated. We thank D. W. Fisher, J. P. Gries, R. G. Osgood, Jr., F. C. Potter, R. P. Richards, E. S. Richardson, Jr., J. Waddington, and S. Ware for information on problems encountered in the preparation of this catalogue. This is the sixteenth catalogue of type inverte- brate fossils in Field Museum. The following are listed in this catalogue: I.

"WORMS" AND PROBLEMATIC BODY FOSSILS Arabellites hindei U. P. James, 1884 Holotype: by monotypy: UC 924 (missing) U. P. James, 1884, p. 149, pi. 7, fig.
