In this limestone, which is made up of organic remains, there are a few minute internal casts of Ostracoda; but only two are distinct enough for figuring and description. One of these small white casts (woodcut, fig. *7) is that of a left valve, leperditioid in shape, suboblong, not so fully rounded in front as behind; hinge line long; front dorsal margin obscured by matrix ; hinder angle sharp, with curve below it. Subconvex, with the greatest fullness rather above the median line and in the posterior moiety of the value. A very faint, circular, subcentral depression is just trace- able. This may be a true Isochilina, and I wish to associate with it the name of the taleuted and enthusiastic Geological Surveyor, Dr. G. M. Dawson, after whose father the Bay itself was named. 5. Elpe Tyrrellii, (sp. nov.). 2a 2b. 2 c Fig. 8. Elpe Tyrrellii, sp. nov. a, side view; h, edge view; c, end view. Magnified 15 diameters. Size: Length 1 -13 (hinge-line -66) ; height -16 ; thickness -46 mm. This is a white cast of a small carapace, subreniform, obliquely rounded and narrow in front, full with a semicircular curve behind; ventral margin boldly curved; dorsal margin somewhat depressed and hollow in the middle. Surface convex, and most so below the median line and in the posterior moiety. This is much like Meek's Cythere Cincinnatiensis (Proceed. Acad. Nat. Sci., 1872, p. 331, and Geo. Surv. Ohio, Paleont., vol. I, 1873, p. 158, pi. xiv, figs. 1 a-d) ; but is contracted at the anterior moiety. The Ohio form is variable and may be represented by more than one species (Meek). It is, however, much more like some drawings of the same species, kindly sent to me in 1888 by Mr. E. O. Ulrich of Newport, Ky. The proport
