This fauna seems to be confined to the Lower Claibornian, above the Buhrstono. 



Part II. — Geological Distribution and Localities of Species. 



The following divisions are made : White Limestone group, Ferruginous Sand- 

 bed (Claiborne Sand), Middli; and Lower Claibornian, Hatchetigliec group, 

 Wood's BluiF group, Bell's Lauding group, Nanafalia group, Matthews's 

 Lauding group, Black Bluff group, and Midway group.

 bama and Mississippi. (Jour. Cincinna'ti Soc. Nat. Hist., vol. viii, 

 pp. 250, 257, January", 1880. Cincinnati.) 



Mentions the occurrence of Orbitoides siipera Conrad, 0. Mantelli Conrad, and 

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

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

 Meutions'the finding of a Xaniilus sp.? at Vieksburg, Mississippi, in the Oligo- 

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

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



i-iii. December, 1885. 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 tliafc the caves in the Cambro-Silurian series, of which this 

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

 having com\o down from times so remote that we may fairly hope to find 

 within them fossils of t e Pliocene age.
