Dianulites apiculatus Dybowski, Die Chaetetiden der Ostbaltischen Silur-Form., 1877, p. 32, pi. 1, figs. 7, 8. Eichwald's figures and description of Clisetetes apiculatus are of practically no value in distinguishing it from the numerous other massive Russian bryozoans. Dy- bowski's treatment of the species is but little better. My guess regarding the species is that it is founded upon small examples of Dianulites petropolitana, or some other massive bryozoan with the base covered by a layer of the smaller, thick-walled, closely tabulated mesopore-like cells. Occurrence.—Dybowski cites Erras, Duboviki, Pulkowa, and Popowa as localities. dianulites HAYDENH Dybowski. Plate 2, figs. 11-116. Dianulites haydenii Dybowski, Die Chaetetiden der Ostbaltischen Silur-Forma- tion, 1877, p. 37, pi. 1, figs. 11 a-h. Although Dybowski gives a detailed description and figures the internal structure of this species, he shows no characters which enable me to recognize what particular form he had in mind. With- out a restudy of the type-specimens, if they are available, I fear that Dianulites liaydenii can not be recognized. Occurrence.—Middle Ordovician, Wesenberg and Wassalem.

The figures of this species are clearly of some Homotrypa or Homo- trypella, but for lack o
