 A systematic description of 

 tlie Lower Devonian fauna of 

 Maryland. Many old forms are 

 redescribed and figured, and a 

 number of new genera and spe- 

 cies founded. The article is 

 based largely on Museum mate- 

 rial.

 Presents the first systematic 

 account of fossil plants from 

 the Coastal Plain districts of 

 Georgia and South Carolina, and 

 although preliminary to a larger 

 worli, it describes a consideralile 

 flora. Practically all of the 

 specimens described are the 

 property of the National 3Mu- 

 seum.

 Describes the invertebrate

Gidley, James Williams. Prelimi- 

 nary report on a recently discovered 

 Pleistocene cave deposit near Cum- 

 bei'land, Maryland. 



Proc. U. 8. Nat. Mus., 

 46, No. 2014, Aug. 

 23, 1913, pp. 93-102, 

 figs. 1-8. 

 A brief history of the discov- 

 ery, locality, and description of 

 the cave deposit is followed by 

 a geologic history with a short 

 discussion of its relative age, 

 and probable manner of en- 

 tombment of the animal remains. 

 It is concluded that this deposit 

 is older than the Conard Fissure 

 of Arkansas, being probably 

 about the equivalent of the Port 

 Kennedy, Pa., cave deposit. A 

 preliminary list of the fauna 

 represented is given, followed by 

 a description of two new species 

 of carnivores, supplemented by 

 brief notes on the lower teeth 

 of canids, with especial refer- 

 ence to the distinctive charac- 

 ters presented in the camassials. 

 - A classification of the principal 

 living groups, with two extinct 

 species included, is here based 

 on these characters.

 46, No. 2036, Dec. 

 31, 1913, pp. 445- 

 449, figs. 1-6. 

 Five new species of pycno- 

 dont fishes are here described, 

 those referable to Microdon, an 

 Old World genus, constituting 

 the first record of the presence 

 of this form in deposits of this 

 continent.
