Abstract

Girty (1895) named six species of stromatoporoids from the Lower Devonian of central and east-central New York, which are here redescribed and reillustrated. Additional new specimens provide data on variations within the following species: Anostylostroma jewetti, Parallelostroma foveolatum, ?Parallelostroma centrotum, and ?Parallelostroma microporum.
