Trace fossils and fish remains, representing three species described by Greiner from the Devonian of New Brunswick, have been transferred and reposited in the New Brunswick Museum. Holotype, paratype, and figured specimens originally at the University of New Brunswick are now located in the Palaeontology Type Collection of the New Brunswick Museum (NBMG). All specimens have been assigned new catalogue numbers.

Based on the lectotype specimen herein selected, Clathrodictyon amygdaloides subvesiculosum Lecompte is raised to species status and assigned to Stromatoporella. In Clathrodictyon amygdaloides subvesiculosum (1951, p. 143, PL 18, figs. 3, 3a, 3b), Lecompte thought that he had a specimen replicated by heteromorphic coenosteal lenses (“Les lentilles hétéromorphes”). Examination of his original slides in the collections of the Institute Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique reveals that the specimen consists of overgrowths of several laminar coenostea demarcated by eroded coenosteal surfaces and, in places, intercalated matrix sediment (vertical sections). The coenostea belong to two different genera: Actinostroma, as indicated by its Y-shaped pillars and laminae composed of a transversely fibrous microfabric, and Stromatoporella, as demonstrated by the presence of ring-pillars and ordinocellular laminae.

University librarians are raising an increasingly loud cry of anguish as a result of the soaring costs of scientific journals. Recently, this problem has been forcefully driven home by a spate of articles (Holden, 1987; Parmater, 1988; Ruschin, 1988; Turner, 1989) in a variety of sources suggesting that one of the primary consequences of this increasing cost must be cancellation of library subscriptions. As a long-time member of a geology departmental library committee and as an ex-editor of the Journal of Paleontology, I feel it is appropriate to comment on this problem and to offer some suggestions regarding approaches to ameliorate the problem.
