Yet the Ohio County Court, removed from Black's Cabin to Wheeling in 1797, continues in existence to this day, and its ancient records are now in the custody of Mr. RICHARD ROBERTSON, the present Clerk of that Court, by whose kind permission we have been enabled to make our copy. This series of papers disclosing the transactions of these old Virginia Courts within the limits of Pennsylvania, will be followed in the next issue of the ANNALS OF THE CARNEGIE MUSEUM by a transcript of the Deed Book of the old court held for the District of West Augusta at Fort Dunmore, 1775-1776, before the division of that district into the three counties, Ohio, Yohogania, and Monongalia.— B.

BY PERCY E. RAYMOND. GENERAL INTRODUCTION. The present paper is composed of two distinct parts, the first part being of a biological nature, and representing the results of work done at the Yale University Museum under the late Professor Beecher ; and the second a faunal paper, prepared under the direction of Professor Williams, also at Yale. An abstract of the first part of the paper giving the more general results in condensed form, was published in the American Journal of Science, Vol. XVII, April, 1904. The details are now presented, illustrated by about forty figures and one plate in addition to those which accompanied the abstract, and several species are here discussed, which were not touched upon in the previous paper. I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to that great paleontologist, Dr. C. E. Beecher, not only for his guidance in the preparation of this paper, but for his help and continual inspiration for work in the field of research. The figures are the work of Mr. Sidney Prentice, draughtsman in the Section of Paleontology at the Carnegie Museum. Most of them are from camera lucida sketches. The plates are from photographs taken by Professor Beecher and the writer. A set of the specimens on which the first part of the paper is based has been deposited by the writer in the Carnegie Museum, and figures 1-3, 5-12, 14, 15, 24, 26-29, 33, 34, 42-45, 47-48 are drawn from individuals in this collection. The series represented in the plates are the property of the Yale University Museum. PART I. ON THE DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES OF SOME OF THE COMMON DEVONIAN BRACHIOPODS. INTRODUCTION.
