Not illustrated. 1916 Excerpt: ...through the Paleozoic era, still prevalent for the last time. Mollusks.--Pelecypods continued to increase in numbers and species, while Gastropods much like the older Paleozoic forms were still common. Cephalopods.--Some early Paleozoic types of Nautiloids (e.g. Orthoceras and Gyroceras) still persisted and various species of the modern genus Nautilus were added.

Amphibians.--In general it may be said that the Permian Fig. 115 A Permian chambered Cephalopod, Waagenoceras cumminsi (White) showing highly folded suture (partition) lines.

Fig. 117 A Permian Reptile (Pelycosaurian), Naosaurus clanger. (After Osborn, from Scott's "Geology," permission of The Macmillan Company.)
