of the corals of the two locahties and on certain specific identities. 

 The genera of the fossil reef near Bainbridge are all present in Antigua, 

 and a peculiar fungid genus, to which the " Heliastrcea" crassolamellata 

 of Duncan belongs, appears confined to this horizon. It is abundant 

 at both of the last-mentioned locahties. A species of Orhicella, 0. 

 cellulosa (Duncan), is abundant at both locahties, but the species has 

 also been found at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in beds of lower Oligocene 

 age, and at Tampa, Florida, in a horizon apparently higher strati- 

 graphically than the Bainbridge exposure. This species, however, is 

 of Oligocene age in the United States. Other evidence accords with 

 this correlation, for instance, the presence of Orthaulaxpugnax Heilprin 

 in the coral-reef bed near Bainbridge and in Antigua. This is a horizon 

 of high importance. It has also been recognized in eastern Cuba and 

 near Lares, Porto Rico. A fauna, either the same or closely related, 

 occurs in eastern Mexico and on the island of Arube. 



Apparently the fauna of the marl and limestone on Anguilla is the 

 youngest of the three. No Orbitoides were recognized in the field, but 

 a species of Orbitolites found abundantly in the Chattahoochee forma- 

 tion at River Junction and at Tampa, Florida, is also abundant in An- 

 guilla. The facies of the coral fauna is similar to that of the fauna 

 of the Emperador limestone, Panama, and a peculiar species of Orhicella 

 is common to both. One species of echinoid, Echinolampas semiorbis 

 Guppy, is abundant both in Anguilla and in the Emperador limestone. 

 The genus Orthaulax and Amusium lyonii Gabb are among the Anguil- 

 lan mollusca. The lower part of the Anguillan marl and limestone 

 closely corresponds to the Emperador limestone horizon of Panama 

 and probably represents the upper part of the Chattahoochee and the 

 Tampa formations of Florida. The upper part of the Anguillan beds, 

 in which Amusium lyonii is abundant, perhaps represents a somewhat 

 higher horizon. As already stated, the marl and limestone of St. 

 Martin appear to be of the same age as those of Anguilla. 



For the physiographic history of the islands, in its bearing on the 

 locus of the living coral reefs, reference may be made to the Bulletin of 

 the American Geographical Society, June 1914. 



HISTORY. 



Bandelier, Adolf F., New York, N. Y. Completion of a documentary history 

 of the Rio (irande Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. (For previous reports 

 see Year Books Nos. 11, 12.) 



From November 1 to December 18, 1913, Dr. Bandelier worked at 

 the archives in Seville, Spain, making copies and extracts of manu- 

 scripts needed for the ''History of the Rio Grande Pueblos," to be 

 prepared under a grant from the Carnegie Institution of Washington. 

 Shortly afterwards he became ill and unable to work, and died on 

 March 18, 1914.
