A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE CONODONTS WITH DE-SCRIPTIONS OF EARLY MISSISSIPPIAN SPECIESBy Grace B. HolmesOf the Eastern High School, Washington, D. C.INTRODUCTIONThe present contributions to the study of the conodonts was pre-pared at the suggestion of Dr. R. S. Bassler and under his direction inthe paleontological laboratory of the United States National Museumwhere extensive collections of these toothlike structures were avail-able. As Doctors Ulrich and Bassler had just completed their paperon the classification of the conodonts and had applied their newclassification in the description of an Upper Devonian fauna ofwestern New York and an early Mississippian one from Tennessee,it was thought best that my work should carry these studies to theMississippian rocks of Alabama and also include for the ready refer-ence by students illustrations of previously described species, withexception of three publications, and a bibliography of the group.The exceptions mentioned refer to the work of Bryant in 1921,Ulrich and Bassler in 1926, and Roundy in 1926, copies of whichare still available to the student.ZOOLOGICAL AFFINITIES OF THE CONODONTSThe affinities of the conodonts have been a subject of controversyalmost since their discovery by Pander in 1856. That there was nodoubt in Pander's mind as to their relationship may be ascertainedfrom the title of his monograph. He studied the internal as wellas the external structure of the fossils and saw in their formationfishlike characters somewhat of the Selachian type.The question concerning the affinities of these fossils seems tohave had its birth in the mind of Dr. J. S. Newberry, of Ohio, whoafter studying specimens found in the Cleveland shales remainedundecided for some years whether they were Marsipobranchii(Cyclostomata) or Annelids.Hinde, who made the m.ost comprehensive study of conodonts ofany paleontologist up to Bryant's work of 1921, classified them asprimitive vertebrates, probably Myxinoids. He based his conclu-sions upon two facts: First, no gastropods which possessed suchNo. 2701.?Proceedings U. S. Natjonal Museum, Vol. 72. Art. 5.55414?28 -1 1 2 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vou72rteeth were found in the same formations nor did any crustaceanshave such spines; and, secondly, the annelid jaws which he foundin the same beds are composed of chitin, while the conodont teethcontain both calcium carbonate and calcium phosphate. He was ofthe same opinion in 1900, namely, that the teeth belonged to fishrather than to some invertebrate.In 1886 Rohon and Zittel decided that "the conodonts havestructurally nothing in common either with the dentine of Selachiaand other fishes, the horny teeth of Cyclostomi, the lingual teethof the MoUusca, the booklets of the Cephalopoda, or the brokensegment spines of the Crustacea ; on the other hand, both in form andin structure, they agree remarkably with the masticatory apparatusof the Annelida and Gephyrea." They came to the conclusion thatsince there is this agreement, all these microscopic teeth, those ac-knowledged by Hinde to be annelids and those which he calledconodonts, are the oral or oesophageal teeth of worms.In reviewing the literature on conodonts it will be found that themost thorough students of these fossils believe they are the remainsof primitive vertebrates, probably some simple fish. In neither ofJohn Smith's papers on conodonts of Scotland can one find a sug-gestion that these are not fish teeth, but an exception is found whenAsser Hadding places them in the phylum Annelida.In Grabau's Text-Book of Geology, conodonts are described ashorny, jawlike, or toothed structures developed within the body?theoesophageal jaws of worms.Bryant in 1921 remarks : " On the whole, the longer I have studiedthese organisms the more have I become convinced that the trueconodonts have hardly anything really diagnostic in common withannelid jaws. If, as I shall hereinafter try to demonstrate, certainof the leaflike forms are of the nature of pavement teeth, then theconclusion seems almost unavoidable that the conodonts must be con-sidered as the dentition of some primitive type of fishes."In the recent publication on the subject of conodonts by Ulrichand Bassler they are regarded as teeth and plates of primitive fish.Their classification is as follows : Class PISCESTYPICAL CONODONTS (teeth of primitive fishes)Family DISTACODIDAE Ulrich and BasslerDistacodus Hinde, 1879 {Machairodus Pander, 1856, preoccupied jMachairodia Smith, 1907); Acodus Pander, 1856; Acontiodus Pan-der, 1856; Drepanodus Pander, 1856; Scolopodus Pander, 1856;Oistodtis Pander, 1856 ; Paltodus Pander, 1856.

Those on-the deflected side are needlelike.Bolotype.?QdX, No. 11463, U.S.N.M.Genus POLYGNATHUS (Hinde) Bryant, 1921POLYGNATHUS GYRATILESTEATUS, new speciesPlate 11, figs, 1, 2Plate an irregular polygon with the tubercules united so as toform parallel ridges extending in concentric lines from one side ofthe median ridge to a place on the other side directly opposite thepoint of origin.

No. 11455, U.S.N.M.POLYGNATHUS TRILOBATUS, new speciesPlate 11, fig. 4As its name indicates this is a distinctly three-lobed plate. Theanterior lobe is long and narrow, while the lateral lobes sweep inbroad lines from the anterior lobe to the carina. A low medianridge rises in the middle of the anterior lobe becoming flattenedtowards the top but gradually narrowing posteriorly until it isproduced beyond the plate into a broad carina, bearing denticles.The tubercules of the basal portion are stronger and more concen-trically arranged than in Polygnathus concentricus. The tuberculesof the anterior lobe extend from side to side across the top of themedian ridge.Eolotype.?C2it.

Nat. Mus.,vol 68, p. 47, pi. 8, figs. 6, 7.The plate is roughly triangular, having three Avell-defined lobes.The rounded lateral lobes gradually disappear into the sides of thesharp-pointed anterior lobe by means of a shallow, curving indenta-tion. The plate is slightly depressed toward the posterior end butelevated in the anterior lobe. The median ridge, which is low butsharp in the posterior end, extends the entire length of the plate andin the anterior lobe becomes broad, being produced be3^ond the platehj a carina bearing several round, compressed denticles. Both themedian ridge and the carina are somewhat sinuous in their courses.Short tubercules are concentrically arranged in the lobes. In theanterior lobe, where they cross the median ridge, they are so closelyspaced as to appear as continuous lines. Compared with PolygnathustrilohahiSy this species differs in its more finely marked basal portionand in the extension of the median ridge to the anterior extremity.Ples7atypes.-?Cat.

The medianridge which extends the length of the plate is extended beyond theplate by a short, narrow carina, bearing several denticles, varying inshape and size. These denticles are extensions of those borne on themedian ridge. In the anterior end of the plate the ridge is traversedby tubercules concentrically arranged but terminating abruptly atthe ill-defined base of the ridge. Parallel rows of denticles extendfrom the anterior lobe to the origin of the carina, where they turnat a sharp angle and terminate in the margin of the lateral lobes.The rhomboidal shape, less conspicuous transverse ribs, fewerrows of tubercules, and their more longitudinal arrangement, dis-tinguish this species from its allies such as Polygnathus concentlicus.Plesiotypes.?Cat.

The main part of the ridge which is producedbeyond the plate by a short, blunt carina, is broad and stout. Thebranches which are thin and high bear six or seven denticles. Theshort, blunt tuberc'ules on each section of the plate are generallyarranged at right angles to the main ridge or its branches.

No. 11, 458, U.S.N.M.PALMATOLEPIS ELONGATA, new speciesPlate 11, fig. 13This is a long, narrow, minute plate with the finely denticulatedmedian ridge extending its whole length. The ridge is very lowat the anterior end but rises toward the posterior end where it be-comes high and broad. On one side of the plate there is a short,pointed lobe. The relative smoothness of the surface serves to dis-tinguish this species from Palmatolefis verlohata Ulrich and Basslerto which it is related.Eolotyfe.?Q^i.

The ridge extends the whole lengthof the plate and is slightly produced beyond by a short, thick carina.The anterior portion of the ridge is indicated by a low, narrow line.From a central prominence the ridge thickens toward the carina.One side, which is rounded, extends slightly beyond the center. Theother side which is produced in the central region by an angular lobeextends almost the entire length of the median ridge but becomesgradually narrower as it approaches the carina. In the anteriorlobe the short, blunt tubercules converge toward the central prom-inence. This in the posterior half of the plate are at right anglesto the central ridge.Plesiotype.?Cat.
