A> to the age and relatiuiiri of these faunas, the following staleinents art- made by the two paleontologists: Db belongs to Lower Heidelberg, probably to the middle of that division. Do must be of a distinctly younger age than Db. though no distinct hori/on can be lixrd. Dtl, De, Df point towards Uppermost Lower Devonian, and lower M id (I le Dev o n ian. Dg is of Middle Devonian age. Dh is. according to LOEWE, to be placed about the boundary of the Middl.'-l'ppcr Devonian. According lo MKYKK Dh as well as Di is of C|i|"'i' Devonian age and point toward Chemung. I'rof. .1.
