| Comment: | About three miles southeast of Wevok, in a dark brown shale belong in the Lisburne group (USGS loc. 3856 green), Collier collected a silicified fragment of a goniatite here identified as Goniatites? sp. The geologic structure in this region is complex and nothing is known about the stratigraphic position of the fossil within the formation. The poorly preserved collection contains the following fossils: Productella? sp., Avonia? sp., Laevidentalium? sp., Goniatites? sp. (from p. 4) |

Quote from George H. Girty on p. 22 concerning Carboniferous invertebrate fossils: "The Carboniferous faunas of Alaska are different from those of central and eastern United States, and comprise either new species or ones described in more or less casual papers upon Russian or Asiatic paleontology. The paleontologist, therefore, labors under some difficulty in reporting upon such collections, since it is not only often impossible to give lists with specific determinations, but even faunal comparisons and correlations are attended with uncertainity." |

| Comment: | In addition to the faunal groups already discriminated, four species stand more or less clearly apart, although not connected with one another. They are 4AC16, 4AC17, 4AW30, and 4AW32. These, I understand, are stratigraphically related to the softer beds of the Cape Lewis section, and there is nothing in the faunas to contradict such as assignment. (from p. 25) |
