Avicula ? abundant under Third Mountain Sand of Venango Co., Pa., at 3 miles N. W. of Pleasantville, 300' be- neath the Glean Conglomerate (XII); and at 2^ m. N. W. of Pleasantville, 250' beneath XII; with many other genera of shells; very rich collecting grounds; CarlPs report I, p. 79, note.—Pocono^ X, Note.—These ''little birds " (Aviculce) are so abundant in the formations of Pennsylvania, that we may expect to identify all the known species of them, especially those which carry New York names, whenever a systematic collection and study of the fossils of the State shall be made. New species or va- rieties will undoubtedly be found. Of the 93 species named in S. A. Miller's invaluable Catalogue of American Palaeozoic Fossils, 2d ed., 1883, Cincinnati, O., 31 have been transferred to other genera. Of the 62 which are still known as Aviculas^ only 10 have been reported by name from Pennsylvania localities. Ten others are figured without names, or reported without names, and remain to be figured if new. Aviculopecten cancellatus. {Pecten cancellatus.) Hall, VlU-
