Mentions the occurrence of several fossils and concludes : (1) That he does not 

 know any jilaco where Grand Gulf strata can be seen in actual superposition 

 over the Marine Tertiarj'. (2) There are two places where strata which 

 can not bo distinguished from unquestioned Grand Gulf can be seen actu- 

 allyoverlain by Marine Tertiary. In one of these cases, moreover, there is 

 actual evidence that these strata were dry land or nearly dry land before
