 cotliana is described from Palm Springs, San Diego Co., where it 

 occurred in crevices' of rocks. 



ON SOME ADDITIONAL FOSSILS FROM THE VANCOUVER CRETA- 

 CEOUS, WITH A REVISED LIST OF THE SPECIES THEREFROM. By 

 J. F. Whi leaves. (Geological Survey of Canada, Mesozoic Fossils, 

 vol. i, part 5, pp. 309-415, plates 40-51.) 



This part is similar to the one published in 1879, consisting of a 

 report of the many collections received since that time. Some 27 

 species of Cephalopoda are recorded, including six new species. The 

 Gastropoda are represented by 35 species, 12 of which are new. 

 Scaphapoda two species, arid Pelecypoda 48 species, 10 being new to 

 science. The synonymy and bibliography is given in full and the 

 illustrations are excellent. The work is a valuable contribution to 

 American paleontology. C. W. J.
