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

 know anyplace where Grand Gulf strata can bo seen in actual superposition 

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

 can not be distini^uished from uuciucstioned Grand Gulf can be seen actu- 

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

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