The examination of these fossils confirms tho fact that the Kreischervillo beds 

 are but the extension of those at Woodbridge and Amboy and were con- 

 tinuous with them until cut through in comparatively recent times by the 

 channel of the Kills. (Cretaceous age.)

Abstract of a paper with the same title published in Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., 

 vol. XXIII, 1884, lip. 45-163, and has in addition the suggestion that Volvox
