Both x 1 EURYPTERIDS FROM THE SHAWANGUNK GRIT I.'^ PENNSYLVANIA On a previous page [87] reference is made to the occurrence of obscure eurypterids in the Shawangunk grit of the Delaware Water Gap, Pennsyl- vania. The material we then had proved indeterminable, but since then through the courtesy of Professor Gilbert van Ingen we have had oppor- tunity to examine a very large number of specimens from the same locality recently acquired by him and Mr J. C. Martin. In regard to the horizon Professor van Ingen writes: These eurypterids are from the third quartzitic conglomerate, " Medina white conglomerate, no. 2 " of section B, at Delaware Water Gap, which is published as plate I, 1882, Report G6 (Second Pennsylvania Geological Survey). They come from about the middle of this band, and occur in thin seams of black shale of very irregular extent horizontally and of variable thickness and character verticallv. Some of the shale seams have none, others abound in the eurypterids. It thus appears that the occvurence of the eurypterids at the Dela- ware Water Gap is the same as that in the Shawangiink grit at Otisville. Unfortunately the maceration, already so prevalent in much of the eurypterid material at Otisville, has at the Delaware Water Gap reached such a destructive degree that the shale is filled \vith a mass of comminuted eurypterid fragments; and to complete the destruction the chitinous sub- stance has also been chemically altered iintil it has a slickensided and silky appearance and for the gr
