July 23-1921
Boston, Mass.
Worked all day at Mus. of Comp. Zool.,
Harvard, picking out duplicate brachiopods
of the Delany collection of Bohemia.
This a very complete and totally different
one than orthids and strophomenids.
The Ordovician species are not many
and all come out of shales, sandstones and
limestone like concretions just out of shale.
Saw Dalmanella, Plectorthis-like but appear
to have a cruralium, Hetutella, something like
Orthos elytra, Triplecia slightly lamellose, Plect
ambritis, Rafinesquina and Schizocrania.
The whole reminds rather of dip. Trenton.
Of Silurian saw nothing of the earliest,
a Allemandian fauna. Of middle Silurian
the common genera are Dalmanella, Phisida
orella, Bradyorim, Strophonella, Schizocant
ella, Plectambritis,
