Dispersion and Deposition of Corn Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agronomy Journal, 1972)
The atmospheric dispersion and subsequent deposition of corn (Zea mays L.) pollen emitted from plants in two 18-m diameter plots were studied in 39 tests at Brookhaven National Laboratory to compare the spread of this large pollen to that of smaller pollens studied previously. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted at four heights (0.5 to 4.6 m) and at five distances from the source on 20-degree radii. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Data were analyzed in terms of current meteorological dispersion theory. Normalized centerline concentrations, crosswind integrated concentrations, plume widths and heights, and mass flux are presented as functions of distance and compared to similar data from ragweed (Ambrosia) and timothy (Phleum pratense) sources of comparable size. Normalized centerline and crosswind integrated deposition and velocity of deposition are also presented as functions of distance and are compared to ragweed and timothy pollen data. The study shows that corn pollen is not transported as far by the wind as smaller pollens, does not disperse as widely in either the horizontal or the vertical direction and settles to earth more quickly, much of it within the source itself. The dispersion of corn pollen is influenced by its large size and rapid settling rate. At 60 m from the source in the downwind direction, concentrations average about 1% of those at 1 m. Width of the pollen plume at 60 m is less than that of smaller pollens under similar conditions. The rate of settling opposes the rate of upward dispersion so that the height of the pollen plume does not increase continuously with downwind distance. At 60 m from the source concentrations integrated in the crosswind direction average from 3 to 6% of those at 1 m. The total amount of pollen remaining airborne at 60 m is 5% of that at 1 m. Total deposition within the source plot is greater than that outside. Deposition per unit area at 60 m downwind is only 0.2% of that near the source. Crosswind integrated deposition at 60 m varies from 0.5 to 0.8% of that at 1 m. The velocity of deposition at 32 m from the source averages about 33 cm/sec.

Dispersion and Deposition of Timothy Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Agricultural Meterology, 1972)
Dispersion and deposition of timothy pollen emitted naturally from circular area sources 18–37 m in diameter and artificially from point sources were studied in 64 tests at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted at four heights (0.5–4.6 m) and five or six distances from the source on 20° radii. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Data are analyzed in terms of current dispersion theory. Normalized centerline concentrations, crosswind integrated concentrations, plume widths and heights, mass flux and the size of areas having concentrations above selected values are presented as functions of distance and related to source size and meteorological variables. Deposition data are also related to distance and source size. Most deposition velocities ranged from 10 to 14 cm/sec but many values close to the source were much higher. Loss of airborne particles between sampling circles is compared to deposition over the same distances. Results are compared to previous dispersion and deposition experiments, including a large number of similar ragweed pollen tests, and to theory.

Caribou and Paleo-Indian in New York State: A presumed Association - Funk, R. E.; Fisher, D. W.; E. M. Reilley Jr. (American Journal of Science, 1970)
A cave near Florida, Orange County, New York has yielded caribou bones and a fluted point in the same stratum. Radiocarbon dating of the bones produced a date of 10,580 B.C. ± 370 yrs. In the same region, mastodon and moose-elk bones have been dated at 8050 B.C. ± 160 yrs. and 9000 B.C. ± 150 yrs., respectively. Similar dates have been obtaibned for mastodon remains further upstate. There is, thus, the strong likelihood that New York's Paleo-Indians hunted caribou; they may also have hunted mastodon and moose-elk.

Dispersion and Deposition of Ragweed Pollen from Experimental Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1970)
Dispersion and deposition of ragweed pollen released naturally from circular area sources of four sizes (5–27 m in diameter) and artificially from point sources were studied at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Concentrations were measured by wind-impaction samplers mounted on 20° radii at four heights (0.5–4.6 in) and four or five distances from the sources to a maximum of 69 m. Deposition was measured by greased microscope slides on the ground. Differences in dispersion patterns between point and area sources are analyzed. Normalized centerline concentrations, cross-wind integrated concentrations, plume widths, plume heights and mass flux are presented as functions of distance and related to source size and meteorological variables. Deposition data are also related to distance and source size. Most deposition velocities ranged from 2–6 cm sec−1 but values close to area sources were much greater. Loss of airborne particles between sampling circles is compared to deposition over the same distances. Results are compared to those of previous dispersion and deposition studies and to theory.

Diurnal Patterns of Pollen Emission in Ambrosia, Phleum, Zea, and Ricinus - Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (American Journal of Botany, 1969)
Hourly measu rements of pollen emission were made from cultivated plots of Ambrosia, Phleum, Zea, and Ricinus over the course of several pollination seasons as part of a study of pollen dispersion from known sources. A characteristic diurnal emission pattern was found for each genus Ambrosia pollen emission normally begins an hour or two after sunrise, peaks a few hours later, and decreases through the afternoon. Phleum starts during the night, peaks about 2 hr after sunrise, and declines slowly through the day. Zea emits pollen fairly uniformly during the period from 2 hr after sunrise to about sunset, while Ricinus pollen was collected from several hours after sunrise to late afternoon with a peak in mid-morning. Daily patterns often vary from the seasonal mean in response to changing meteorological conditions.

Ground Slates: East and West - Ritchie, W. A. (American Antiquity, 1969)
Six major hypotheses have been advanced to account for ground slate industries containing knives, lance heads, and projectile points, found on opposite sides of the North American continent. Certain of these hypotheses assume genetic connections; others postulate separate sources and developments for such artifacts in the Northeast and North Pacific areas. A recent study of the cultures involved, chiefly Borden's (1962) Vancouver data, has indicated that: (1) ground slate artifacts made their initial appearance in both areas at about the same time; (2) the respective typologies are quite dissimilar; and (3) possible bone and/or chipped stone prototypes for certain of the specific ground slate forms exist in each area. These data suggest independent origins and developmental histories.

In St. Lawrence County, New York State, in 1964-65, 7, 940 Culicids, Ceratopo-gonids, Simuliids and Tabanids were tested in 769 pools for evidence of virus infection. One of 51 pools of Aedes cinereus Mg. yielded a virus of the California encephalitis complex of a type different from the prototype strain. Antibodies neutralizing California encephalitis virus were found in serum from man, cattle and wild animals in 11 counties of New York.

Variations of the K/Rb Ratio in Migmatitic Paragneisses of the Northwest Adirondacks - P. R. Whitney (Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1969)
Data for the migmatitic paragneisses of the Northwest Adirondacks indicate fractionation of potassium and rubidium during metamorphism and migmatization; total rock KRb ratios are controlled to a significant degree by modal composition. Biotite-poor granitic veins and lenses show KRb ratios averaging 431 in contrast to the host gneisses which have an average KRb ratio of 271. Paragneisses from the zone of granulite facies metamorphism show significantly higher (mean 307) KRb ratios than those from the amphibolite facies (231), indicating the possibility of regional depletion in Rb relative to K under intensive metamorphic conditions.

Effect of a Local Source on Ragweed Pollen Concentrations from Background Sources - Raynor, G. S.; Ogden, E. C.; Hayes, J. V. (Journal of Allergy, 1968)
Dispersion of pollen from local ragweed sources was studied to determine the effect of contributions from such sources upon the pollen concentrations originating in more distant areas. Since ragweed pollen is produced throughout a large region, concentrations measured at any given location represent contributions from many sources at various distances along the past trajectory of the air sampled. A local source may produce concentrations several orders of magnitude above this background in a small downwind region. These concentrations decrease with distance and at some point become insignificant in comparison to background concentrations. Five experimental plots of common ragweed (Ambrosia artemisiifolia) were grown at Brookhaven National Laboratory over a four-year period. Pollen concentrations were measured by arrays of samplers located in concentric rings at several distances from each source. These concentrations were studied in relation to background pollen. The maximum downwind concentration is related to source size. Distances necessary for concentrations to reach specified fractions of background and the areas covered by concentrations greater than specified multiples of background are related to source size, surrounding vegetation, and meteorological conditions. These data should provide guidance to allergists and public health officials in evaluating the importance of local sources.

Arthropod-borne-virus Survey in St. Lawrence County, New York. Arbovirus Reactivity in Serum from Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals - Whitney, E.; H. Jamnback; Means, R. G.; Watthews, T. H. (The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1968)
Serological evidence of the presence of groups A, B and Bunyamwera arboviruses in New York State has been reported [Bull Hyg., 1964, v. 39, 75; Am. J. Vet. Res., 1965, v. 26, 914]. In continuation of these studies a further 901 wild animal sera (amphibian, reptilian, avian and mammalian) and 192 human sera were obtained from St. Lawrence County and tested for the presence of haemagglutination inhibiting (HI) and neutralizing (NT) antibodies. Group A reactivity was tested against eastern and western encephalomyelitis viruses, group B reactivity with Powassan and St. Louis encephalitis viruses, while the Bunyamwera group was represented by Cache Valley in NT tests and by Maguari virus in HI tests. Only a few reactions with group A viruses were found, but there was evidence of considerable activity by group B viruses-particularly Powassan virus. Of 70 sera from woodchucks (Marmota monax), 38 had both NT and HI antibodies against Powassan virus and sera from 9 other mammalian species were also reactive. Despite this high incidence in animal sera, only 2 human sera gave evidence suggesting previous infection with group B arboviruses; one had antibodies to Powassan and the other to St. Louis encephalitis virus. In the Bunyamwera group, 9 of 192 human sera neutralized Cache Valley virus, but no antibodies to this group of viruses were found in any of the 901 animal sera.

Some Effects of Ingested Thiotepa on the Development of Plasmodium gallinaceum in Yellow-fever Mosquitoes and in Chicks - H. Jamnback (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1967)
In feeding tests, 1.0% thiotepa (tris (1-aziridinyl) phosphine sulfide) in 5% sucrose solution was rapidly lethal to most females of the yellow-fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti (L.). At this concentration it was calculated that approximately 4600 mg of thiotepa per kg of mosquito weight was ingested. The mortality of mosquitoes feeding on 0.1% thiotepa was 69% on day 20, 17 days after exposure, as compared with 23% in untreated mosquitoes. With 0.1% thiotepa, there was a significant reduction in the size of oocysts and obvious abnormalities in their appearance, but there was no significant difference between the numbers of oocysts in treated and untreated mosquitoes. Sporozoite production was delayed but not entirely prevented; the length of the extrinsic period being almost doubled. Dissections made on day 20 or thereafter indicate that the sporozoite rate was reduced by 68%. Transmission to chicks by thiotepa-treated mosquitoes (on day 20) was reduced by 88%. Plasmodium gallinaceum Brumpt in the 2 chicks infected by thiotepa-treated mosquitoes was infective to other mosquitoes and developed normally in them. The effects of lower concentrations of thiotepa were studied in less detail. Sporozoite rates were reduced and the appearance of sporozoites was delayed in mosquitoes that fed on 0.01% thiotepa but were unaffected in mosquitoes that fed on 0.001% thiotepa.

A New Sampler for Airborne Pollen: The Rotoslide - Ogden, E. C.; Raynor, G. S. (Journal of Allergy, 1967)
As experiments have shown that pollen capture by the standard Durham sampler is determined by several factors in addition to the concentration of pollen in the air, a study was conducted to determine what type of sampler would be the most acceptable replacement. Many types of samplers, including deposition surfaces, stationary and rotating impactors, suction, and filter devices, were tested in a wind tunnel and in the field under various meteorological conditions. Considerations of accuracy of sample, use under varying weather conditions, simplicity of operation, case of counting, conversion of catch to a volumetric basis, and cost led to the development of the rotoslide, a rotating impactor which takes samples of pollen and other spores on the edge of standard glass microscope slides. Staining and other preparation of samples for study are similar to the methods in routine use. A special inexpensive holder positions the slides under a microscope. Identification and counting are done at 100× or at higher magnifications if desired. The rotoslide sampler is essentially independent of wind speed and direction and has a collection efficiency of approximately 64 per cent for particles in the size range of pollen. It samples approximately 60 L. per minute, but for long-period samples it may be operated intermittently to prevent overloading.

Although postspray reduction in egg masses is the standard measure used to evaluate control of the gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar (L.), the method does not provide for observation of treatment effects, or the detection of a mortality not related to treatment. Correlation analyses of egg-mass reduction with spray deposit, mortality among larvae caged with sprayed foliage, 10-minute live larval counts in the field, frass collections, and defoliation readings showed that the 3 last mentioned were significantly correlated with postspray egg-mass deposit.

Oil and Gas Developments in Northeastern States in 1965 - Richards, H. G.; Taylor, E. F.; Kreidler, W. L.; Van Tyne, A. M.; Lytle, W. S.; McGlade, W. G.; Wagner, W. R.; McCord, W. R.; Norling, D. L.; Johnson, A. W.; Alkire, R. L. (AAPG Bulletin, 1966)
The area covered by this report includes the New England States and the States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. There was no drilling activity along the Atlantic Coastal Plain north of North Carolina, but some offshore seismic surveying was done. The one exploratory well drilled in Maryland discovered a gas pool in the Oriskany. An important but unsuccessful wildcat was drilled in Virginia to a depth of 14,176 ft. An unsuccessful wildcat was drilled in Vermont (Champlain basin) to a depth of 5,120 ft. In New York State there were 4 new gas discoveries (2 in Oriskany, 2 in Medina). Major exploratory emphasis was on pre-Silurian unconformities in the counties just south of Lake Ontario. Exploration in Pennsylvania resulted in 5 new gas discoveries. Drilling was for sandstone gas production from the Oriskany in the west-central and southern counties, and for production from the Lower Silurian and older formations in Crawford and Erie Counties. Many wells also were drilled in old shallow-sandstone oil areas of Warren and Venango Counties. One new shallow oil field and one new deep-sandstone gas field were discovered in West Virginia. Important drilling was done in the north-central counties for oil and gas in the Big Injun Sand (Middle Mississippian) and for gas in the Riley-Benson Sands (Upper Devonian). Drilling for Oriskany Sandstone (Lower Devonian) gas continued in Hampshire, Hardy, Jackson, Putnam, and Monongalia Counties. The deepest well drilled in the state (unsuccessful wildcat) was a 13,000-ft. test in Grant County. Drilling activity in central Ohio again was directed toward the Cambrian (Copper Ridge Dolomite, "Trempealeau"). Scattered exploratory drilling took place in the northern, northeastern, and south-central parts of the state. Production from the Silurian Albion Sandstone ("Clinton") increased during the year whereas that from the Mississippian Berea Sandstone remained about the same as in 1964.

A Mineral Conservation Ethic for New York State - Dunn, J. R.; Broughton, J. G. (The Council of State Government, 1965)
The authors of this paper underscore that the supply of mineral resources that go into the making of our cities is in jeopardy. Accordingly they pose as a basic principle, as a "Mineral Conservation Ethic," the proposition that any action leading to waste or misuse of a mineral resource is a public concern. They analyze the outstanding elements of the problem as they see it, and suggest various lines looking to solution. Messrs. Dunn and Broughton are, respectively, Professor of Geology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and State Geologist of New York. While they are writing here especially about their subject as it presents itself in New York, they would apply most of their findings to the country at large. They emphasize that they approach the problem as specialist- enthusiast for minerals-and they recognize that these must compete with other necessities for enlightened public attention and action. But they believe that minerals have been receiving much too small a share. /CSG/

This comparison shows that the volcanic rocks of all belts belong to the basalt andesite rhyolite association typical of continental orogenic belts or island are systems. A primitive continent with continental rocks must, therefore, have existed in early Archaean time.The Keewatin lava sequences in the various belts are remnants of a great volcanic sequence that covered the southern half of the Superior province of the Canadian shield.

Fall Spray Tests with Portable Mistblower Against White Pine Weevil - Connola, D. P.; Smith, W. E. (Journal of Forestry, 1964)
Applications of water emulsions of 6 percent DDT plus 3 percent sticker (Love 192 or Ortho Spray Sticker) in the fall successfully reduced white pine weevil (Pissodes strobi [Peck]) damage. Weeviling in treated white pine (Pinus strobus L.) plantations was reduced to an average of 4 percent from a pretreatment weeviling of 20 to 33 percent. Although the reduction was not so good as that obtained in spring treatments, the fall provides more time and better weather conditions for treatment.

In 1963, drilling activities for natural gas decreased about 20 percent from 1962. Thirty-three wells were drilled to the Medina-Queenston gas sands. Nine wells tested the formations below the Medina-Queenston. Thirteen wells were completed to the Oriskany and 6 to the Onondaga. There were 225 oil-field development wells drilled in 1963. Oil production increased by 5.7 percent due to the increase in production from the Chipmunk oil horizon.

Effects of Soil and Other Environmental Conditions on White Pine Weevil Attack in New York - Connola, D. P.; Wixson, E. C. (Journal of Forestry, 1963)
A study was made of white pine weevil attack occurring on 266 one-tenth acre sample plots of white pine over 16 feet tall in New York. Tree data collected included measure of weevil damage to the main stem in relation to height, and frequency of weevil attack. Plot data included information pertaining to drainage, exposure, elevation, tree growth, tree distortion due to weeviling, silviculture, soil litter, soil characters, and root penetration. Analysis of the data showed that only soil mottling and hardpan were correlated with stand damage, and that there was significantly more weevil damage in stands where these factors occurred in a 3-foot soil profile. Also, there was a direct correlation between weevil attack on the main stem and tree height at time of attack. Frequency of attack reached a peak at the 10- to 20-foot height level and then declined as height increased.

The Species of Culicoides Related to obsoletus (Maigen) in Eastern North America (Diptera:Ceratopogonidae) - H. Jamnback; Wirth, W. W. (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1963)
The obsoletus group of the subgenus Culicoides (Avaritia) is characterized and the four eastern North American species, which were previously included under the names obsoletus (Meigen) and chiopterus (Meigen), are described with keys for identification of males and females, and when known, the larvae and pupae. These four species are alachua n. sp. from Florida; chiopterus (Meigen) not abundant, probably widespread; obsoletus (Meigen) common and widespread; and sanguisuga (Coquillett), the important pest of eastern woodlands. The known distribution and breeding habitats of these species are discussed.

Studies of Populations of Adult and Immature Culicoides sanguisuga (Diptera:Ceratopogonidae) - H. Jamnback; Watthews, T. (Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1963)
The method used in making landing-rate counts of Culicoides sanguisuga (Coquillett), an abundant pest of man in the Adirondacks, is described. Landing rates were low initially at a given site, and increased to a peak 10 to 12 minutes later. Counts were highest about an hour after sunrise and at sunset. In open meadows the counts generally declined to zero during the day between the morning and evening peaks. In moist, shaded sites, protected from the wind, landing rates diminished but punkies continued to be annoying during the middle of the clay. It is suggested that the rate of moisture loss is an important factor influencing the activity of the punkie, and a close relationship between the evaporation rate and landing rate is demonstrated. Seasonal changes in populations of C. sanguisuga, as indicated by landingrate counts and light-trap collections, were comparable. The first females appeared in late May. Populations then increased rapidly and reached peak numbers in late June and early July. The numbers diminished slowly thereafter and punkies were found only in small numbers after mid-August, although occasional specimens were present into October. C. sanguisuga overwinters in the larval stage. In 1961, larval populations were high in early May, then declined during the period of pupation from late May into early June. Numbers increased thereafter owing to the appearance of recently hatched small larvae. Prepupation population levels were reached by late July.

Effects of DDT As Used in Blackfly Larval Control, On Stream Arthropods - H. Jamnback; Eabry, H. H. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1962)
A study of the possible cumulative effects of DDT on arthropods in streams treated for black fly larval control for 5 to 10 years was carried out in 1961. Statistical analysis based on 348 square-foot riffle samples taken in treated and untreated Adirondack Mountain streams indicates that a significantly smaller number of Ephemeroptera and Diptera were present in the regularly treated streams than in those untreated, and that the reduction in overall numbers of arthropods approached hut did not reach a significant level. The numbers of arthropods in 11 regularly treated streams sampled in 1950-52 and again in 1961 were about the same during the two sampling periods. The ratio of weight to volume to numbers of arthropods was about the same in regularly treated, irregularly treated, and untreated streams sampled in 1961.

Aerial spray tests against gypsy moth, Porthetria dispar (L.), in New York in 1960 showed that the compound Sevin® (1-naphthyl N-methylcarbamate) applied at the rate of 1 pound in 1 gallon of spray per acre was as effective as one-half pound of DDT in 1 gallon of spray per acre. In posts pray examinations, no egg masses were found in the test plots treated with either material. DDT at one-fourth pound in 1 gallon of spray per acre was not as effective in reducing egg masses. Prespray counts of egg masses ill the test plots were from 2,000 to 5,000 per acre. All materials were formulated in No.2 fuel oil.

The Effectiveness of Chemically Treated Screens in Killing Annoying Punkies, Culicoides obsoletus - H. Jamnback (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1961)
A method of testing and evaluating chemicals painted on window screens for control of punkies (Culicoules obsoletus (Meigen)) in dwellings consisted of using test chambers made from small cartons with one end covered by transparent plastic and the other end opaque. A screen was placed in the chamber between the light and dark ends. When the adults were introduced into the chamber at the dark end they quickly migrated to the light end passing through the treated screens. A 7.7% marathon-alcohol solution painted on screens killed Culicoides adults that had passed through them in less than an hour while a 10% DDT-oil solution required several hours before an appreciable mortality occurred. The malathion-painted screens were still highly effective in killing exposed punkies 21 days after treatment.

Control of Maple Leaf Cutter Paraclemensia acerifoliella, by Aerial Spraying - Connola, D. P. (Journal of Economic Entomology, 1960)
Paraclemensia acerifoliella (Fitch) caused serious damage to the foliage of sugar maple (Acer saccharum) in northern New York in 1958 and 1959. This Incurvariid is reported from a work already noticed [R.A.E., A 38 444] to have one generation a year; the adults emerge in May and deposit eggs in the leaf tissues, and the larvae mine the leaves for 10-14 days and then live as case-bearers until late August or September, when they fall to the ground and pupate in their cases. In a test in 1959, spraying with 2 U.S. gal. 9 per cent. DDT in fuel oil per acre from an aeroplane on 22nd-23rd July, when the larvae had ceased mining and before foliage damage was severe, gave good control. Examination on 15th August showed that leaf-cutting activity had not progressed since the treatment in sprayed stands, in which the foliage remained green, but had continued in unsprayed stands, in which the foliage was badly damaged and turning brown.

Field Evaluation of Ragweed Pollen Samplers - Ogden, E. C.; Raynor, G. S. (Journal of Allergy, 1960)
Our experiments have shown that pollen capture by the standard Durham sampler is determined by several factors, in addition to the concentration of pollen in the air. Aerodynamic factors are responsible for the greater collecting ability of the slide when its long axis is placed parallel to the air flow. Orientation of the slide with respect to wind direction may result in a 5 to 1 difference in catch between adjacent slides. It was also found that the amount of pollen captured is a function of the amount of air passing over the slide as well as the concentration of pollen in the air. Thus, an increase of 3 to 4 m.p.h. in the wind speed may give more than a 50 per cent increase in the pollen captured. Since wind speed normally increases with height, elevation of the sampler above the ground determines the wind speed to which the slide is exposed and affects the count. Tests of a filter sampler showed that this device was also affected by wind speed but in an opposite manner, since efficiency in capturing particles in the pollen size range decreases with increasing wind speed. Improvements in the standard sampling technique might include vane orientation of the slide sampler and measurement of the air flow which could be used to correct the count, or the use of round or square slides with similar correction of wind speed. Work is continuing on the development and evaluation of other sampling devices.

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.
