NUCULITES FROM THE SILURIAN FORMATIONS OF WASH-INGTON COUNTY, MAINE. By Henry Shaler Williams Cornell University, Ithaca, New York. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GEOLOGY OF MAINE. In the year 1897 the writer began a study of the Paleozoic rocks and fossils of eastern and northeastern Maine. As the work proceeded a series of publications have been issued, by several agencies, illustrating the new facts regarding the geology and paleontology as they have been elaborated. As all of these papers are more or less intimately related to each other, it may be convenient for the reader to have before him a list of them, with date, place of publication, and general nature of con-tents.
