Acidaspis cerelesta, Ohio Pal. Vol. I, pl. XIV.
fig. 8 = Ceratrus according to Miller
(= Ceratrus pleurixanthemus acco-
ding to him)
Parcedus Darwini:
Fragments and few specimens are
rare in hills back of Cincinnati, about
40 feet up. = Belleme or base of Corys-
mille. Corryville rather near top.
Good specimens = 2 mi S of Mayo-
vil(le), in a layer of sand 2 feet thick
between harder stratified rocks.
base of Bellevne. = Fig. 1 A B of
plate I of mine,
Parcedus clauderi, Miller, Diametra
½ to ¾ in. Diameter of depres-
sions = about ⅓o inch.
Parcedus is placed by Kindl under
sponges.
Plate I.
Parcedus darwini. (Sponge palaezo)
Coryville Found two feet clay layer at base
Corryville, about two miles south
of Mayerville. R in railroad cut.
Depressed globular bodies, portably
originally nearly spherical, with
depressions, chiefly for a spind, originall
filled by plate which were a little con-
cex on the inner surface. Frag-
ments and few specimens are
rare in hills back of Cincinnati,
at 400 ft (= Corryville?) Outcrop
at top of section at 425 ft.
Parcedus clauderi, Miller, ½ to ¾"
diam of specimens, ⅓o in = diameter
of depressions. Found associated
with P. darwini at Mayerville-
(= Base of Bellevne) but not at
Cincinnati.
Dabruamella cyclo is less robust shell
than multitecta; valves very thin,
hence the ventral valve appears nearly flat
in most specimens, except near the beak
and along the slight marginal ridge, due to
pressure flattening. Radiating striae
said to be prominent and rather
coarse, less fine than those of multitec-
tecta, but this is not true of the type
in the James collection.
