Two warm-water non-reef -building corals, Siderastrea radians and 

 Porites divaricata, were obtained from the well at Delray, depth 118 feet. 

 This place is slightly north of Hillsboro Inlet, but slightly south of the 

 latitude of the Caloosahatchee exposures and considerably south of those 

 around Charlotte Harbor. It appears that in Recent time the waters 

 may have been cooled somewhat more. 



SOUTHWARD EXTENSION OF BURIED SANDS. 



The intergradation between both the coquina and the Miami oolite 

 with arenaceous shell marls has already been described, also the inter- 

 bedding of siliceous sands with the predominantly calcareous material 

 has been mentioned. On the east coast south of Delray, the surface, 

 •except a surficial coating of sand, is formed by the Miami oolite and the 

 Key Largo limestone; on the west coast by the Lostman River limestone ; 

 and that of the keys west of Bahia Honda by the Key West oolite. 

 Beneath these limestones, however, are sands probably in part Pleisto- 

 cene and in part Pliocene in age. 



The following well records will show the southward extension of 

 these buried sands:
