Restudy of the previously unassigned narrow conical genus Polylopia Clark discloses that it bears features which ally it most closely with the Scaphopoda. These are: (1) possession of a multi-layered wall, (2) presence of external longitudinal ribbing, and (3) truncation of the gradually tapering narrow cone. Characteristics diagnostic of other kinds of narrow conical shells as tentaculitids, styliolinids, hyolithids, conularids, pteropods, cephalopods, or worms are lacking and placement in any of these groups is not supported by the evidence at hand. The suggested placement of Polylopia in the Scaphopoda extends the stratigraphic range of this group in North America back to the Middle Ordovician.

W. %K geology %X
Failure to employ stratigraphie terms, as set forth in the Stratigraphic Code, has resulted in a situation perplexing to both professional and student geologists. To demonstrate that multiform usage is illogical and confusing, examples are presented from the Paleozoic section in New York State to show the varying ways in which the term "formation," fundamental in stratigraphy, has been used. Formation should be used only for lithogenetic (rock) units on geologic maps. Closer adherence to the Stratigraphie Code is advocated, in order to stabilize and clarify stratigraphy. If it is necessary to revise the Stratigraphie Code in the light of recent techniques in stratigraphy, the opinions of the current American Commission on Stratigraphie Nomenclature should be obtained.

A new tentaculitid, Tentaculites lowdoni Fisher & Young, n.sp., is described and illustrated from the Lower Ordovician (Canadian) Chepultepec limestone, near Fishersville, Augusta County, Virginia. This discovery is of significance as it extends the stratigraphic range of the Tentaculitidae; the lower limit previously being considered Middle Ordovician (Trentonian).
