 This paper gives a synopsis of the main divi-

 and shows in a table, so far as our present 

 knowledge extends, the succession of these 

 beds, and correlates those of the eastern, cen- 

 tral, and western portions of the country in a 

 manner to show the equivalent beds in the 

 same horizontal line. This table includes the 

 entire Tertiary series. A series of notes upon 

 names used in the table is given, indicating 

 the origin of the name, mentioning any ques- 

 tion which has arisen in regard to the division 

 of this or some other name, giving references 

 to the literature in which each name was 

 defined or fully described, and mentioning 

 the chief synonyms.
