Lycoplioria micella Dalm. is another species appearing here for the first time and ranging through B III, and so is Strophomena jentschi Gay, important as characterizing the Asaphus limestones of (Eland and the boulders of limestone conglomerate to he referred to later. The second member of the Asaphus limestone, B III /?, is a mottled yellowish to reddish limestone, with a thickness of about meters. The fauna is not markedly distinct from that of B III a, but is especially characterized by Asaphus raniceps Dalm. Four species of Megalaspis occur here, including M. aculicaiida, which also occurs in B III a, and has a related form in B II y. Megalaspis heros Dalm. also occurs here, and Asaphus expansus Dalm. is continued upward from B III a. The W E.

S. and Ptychopyge (Pseudasaphus) globifrons Eichw. This fauna differs more from the preceding two than do their faunas among themselves. Several of the trilobites, however, as well as a number of brachiopods, are common to all these divisions. The most marked character of this division is, however, the appearance of numerous Oephalopods of the genera Endo- ceras, Vaginoceras, Planctoceras, Estonioceras, and Cyrtoceras. The gas- tropod
