James H. Moore had noted the depth from which the specimens 

 furnished by him had been taken ; with this information and an ex- 

 amination of the sands of the dump and their contained fossils, it may 

 be safely concluded that of the above : 



Turritella plebeia came from a depth of about 450 ft. 

 Corbula elevata came from a depth of about 730 ft. 

 Perna maxillata came from a depth of about 800 ft. 



The paleontological evidence indicates that the portion of the sec- 

 tion between 400 and 700 feet belongs to the Middle Miocene and 

 all below that to the Lower Miocene. 



About 15 of the above species, it is believed, have never before 

 been found in New Jersey. These are from the upper layers (Mid- 

 dle Miocene) which no doubt exist further back from the shore, say
