This fanna seems to be confined to the Lower Claibornian, above the Buhrstone. 



Part II. — Geological Distribution and Localities of Species. 



The following divisions are made : White Limestone gronj), Ferrnginous Sand- 

 bed (Claiborne Sand), Middle' and Lower Claibornian, Hatchetigbee group, 

 Wood's Bluff group. Bell's Landing group, Nanafalia group, Matthews's 

 Laudiug group, Black Bluff group, and Midwaj^ group.

 bama and Mississippi. (Jour. Cincinnati Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. viii,

Meutious the occurrence of Orbitoides supera Conrad, 0. Mantelli Conrad, and 

 a few Nummulites in beds immediately underlying the strata in which the 

 Zeuglodon bones occur at Jackson, on Dry or Town Creek. 

 Mentions the finding of a iS^rt»fi?HS sp.? at Vicksburg, Mississippi, in the Oligo- 

 cene, and also a new species of crab from Alabama.

 Virginia. Published by permission of N. S. Shaler and J. E. Proctor, 

 directors of the Kentuck}' Geological Survey. With three plates. 

 (Mem. Museum Comp. Zool. at Harvard College, vol. x, pp. 1-13, pis. 

 i-iii. December, 18S5. Cambridge.) 



Describes the new genus Pachycyon and the new species P. robustus. 

 Prof. N. S. Shaler, pp. 9-13, furnishes a note "On the Age of the Ely Cave." 

 In this he states that the caves in the Cambro-Silurian series, of which this 

 is one, are often found under conditions such as to make it certain of their 

 having come down from times so remote that we may fairly hope to find 

 within them fossils of t e Pliocene line.
