134 CRETACEOUS FOSSIliShowever, that the name is to be kept nearer home. The species is apparentlyassociated with dela.warenuis and the assignment to a differentgenus seems unexpected. The writer has arbitrarily followed Collignon.Range in <strong>New</strong> <strong>Jersey</strong>-RIERCHAXTVILLE : Burlington County.Range outsidc <strong>New</strong> Jorsey-Crosswicks (Merchantville and Woodbury) : Chesapeake andDelaware Canal.Typo.-ANSPDelaware.19492. Locality: Chesapeake and Delaware Canal,Submorionicerar sp.Whitfield (1892, p1.42, fig. 9 ; p1.43, figs. 1-2) figures as Ammonitesdelawarensis Norton a specimen 185 mm. in diameter, with maximu~nheight <strong>of</strong> whorl <strong>of</strong> 90 mm. and width <strong>of</strong> 60 mm. A little more than onewhorl is preserved and all <strong>of</strong> the early stages are missing. Only theumbilical and ventrolateral nodes are displayed, and the ribs are veryweak. The keel is visible but sub~lned. Collignon (1948, fasc. 14, p. 30)refers this specimen to Snbmortonicoras, and conceivably it could be alarge stage <strong>of</strong> S. vanztxemi, but as the authentic specimens <strong>of</strong> vam~cxenaiavailable are all small, it is not possible to assign it with assurance.Whitfield (1892, p. 252) refers to the specimen as "a large cast sentme, as one <strong>of</strong> the type specimens, from the Acad. Nat. Scicnees, Philadelphia,"and undcr the heading "Formation and locality" he says,"The type specimens are all from Delamare."
