This trilobite was found by Lieut. Bolton, at Lockport, in the state of New York, in the black, shaly, horizontal limestone forming the lower part of the ravine by which the Erie canal ascends the _parallel ridge_ of Lake Ontario. Dr. Bigsby remarks on this locality, "I am not prepared to assign to this limestone its exact place in the series of geological formations; it is above the saliferous sandstone, and therefore more recent than the rocks best known as abounding in trilobites." We have, therefore, in this instance, another fact, which demonstrates that blind trilobites are not confined to a geological period more remote than That which has produced the animals with oculiferous tubercles. Genus Ogygia. _Brongniart._ In the vast quarries of slate at Angers, in France, there is frequently noticed two very remarkable organic remains, which have for a long time excited the attention of naturalists. To receive these curious relics, Professor Brongniart established the genus, Ogygia, which he thus characterizes. Body much depressed--elongated into an ellipse, terminated in points--nearly equal at its extremities, and not capable of contracting itself into a spherical form. The buckler is bordered by a slight longitudinal furrow, rising from its anterior extremity, and its posterior angles terminating in elongated points. The abdomen has eight articulations, and its longitudinal lobes are not very prominent. The eyes are neither prominent nor reticulated and there are no other protuberances on the buckler. In Professor Brongniart's original work on the Trilobites, he has described the two specimens from Angers, under the specific names of Guettardi, and Desmarestii, in compliment to M. M. Guettard and Desmarest; and in De La Beche's Manual of Geology, we are informed that he has since identified two other species; one of which is supposed to be found in North America; this he calls _Ogygia Sillimani_; the banks of the Mohawk River, near Schenectady, is the locality from which it is said to have been derived. As we have not been able to find any detailed account of this species, we have admitted both it and the genus to which it is said to belong into our Monograph exclusively on the high authority of Professor Brongniart, as quoted in the Manual of Geology. We are not ignorant of the species of Trilobites found near Schenectady, and if permitted to offer a suggestion on this subject, it would be, that the description of the American ogygia, was made out by its distinguished author from the fragment of an Isotelus. The Isotelus is not uncommon in that vicinity, and one of its extremities might, even by a very close observer, be mistaken for that of an Ogygia--especially by those who are not perfectly familiar with the Isotelus. Genus Isotelus. _Dekay._
