BUMASTUS TRENTONENSIS. Emmons, Geol. Rep. p. 390. ILLiENUS TRENTONENSIS. Hall, Pal. , , , The following description of this fossil is copied from Professor Emmons's Geology of New-York, page 390 : No. 1 has not been found in place : the fine specimen from which the drawing was made, was found by a laborer in Hogansburgh, in a boulder of bituminous limestone. The boulder is identical with the black limestone of Montreal, which contains the Trenton fossils. Upon the fragment containing the specimen is dis- coverable a portion of a Strophomena, known also to belong to this rock. There can be no doubt, therefore, of the position it occupies; but usually where a fossil has been obtained from a boulder, no account has been taken of it. No. 1 is allied both to Bumastus and Isotelus, or seems to be an intermediate genus.
