Qeol. Mag., London, December, III, v, No. 8, pp. 362, 3C3 ; five test figures. 



Describes and figures a little Coral from Kaufman County, Texas, found in strata of the Rip- 

 ley Group, under the new generic and specific name of Hindeaatrcea discoidea. 

 Charles A. Whitk. On the Permian Formation of Texas. 



Am. Naturalist, xxm, pp. 109-128; 1 plate. 



Discusses the interdelimitation of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic, also the commingling of Paleo- 

 zoic and Mesozoic types. Gives descriptive section of the Permian of Texas and lis.; of 

 invertebrate fossils found in thoae strata. Describes and figures three new species: Pty- 

 chites curnminsi, Medlicottia copei, Popanoceras walcotti. 

 Charles A. White. On Invertebrate Fossils from the Pacific Coast. 



Bull. U. S. Geol. Survey, No. 51, parts 1-5, pp. 1-102 ; plates 1-14. 



Parti. New Fossil Mollusca from the Chico-Tejou series of California, pp. 11-27. Describes 

 new genus Vasculum and describes and figures the following new species: Ostrea (Alex- 

 tryonia) dillerl, Zirphcea plana, Actceon inoinatus, Vasculum obliquum, Lysis oppansus, 

 Trochus (Anadema) genii/erus, &lomalia obstricta, Gyrodes dowelli, liimella macilenta, Me- 

 salia obsuta, Faunas marcidulus, Ceratia nexilia, Troplioa condoni, OomineUa lecontei, Ful- 

 gar hilgardi, lndguraria gabbi, Cancellaria dilleri, Ammonites turneri. 



Part 2. The occurrence of equivalents of the Chico-Tejon series in Oregon and Washington 

 Territory, pp. 28-32. Gives numerous localities. Attention is called to similarities and 

 differences existing in Gabbs aud Conrads' descriptions of species. 



Part 3. Cretaceous Fossils from Vancouver Island region, pp. 33-48. The fossils described are 

 from three small islands at the southern end of the Gulf of Georgia, adjacent to Vancouver 

 Island. They are known as Sucia, Waldron, and Sheep Jack. The following new species 

 are described: Perna excavata, Vanikoropsis suciaensis, Ammonites maclurei. 



Part 4. The Molluscan Fauna of Puget Group, pp. 49-63. The unique character of this brackish 

 water fauna, together with other facts, shows that the body of water in which this deposit 

 was formed was an estuary. It is a rich coal-bearing formation, but in its origin it was 

 separated from any other coal-bearing strata of the Pacific Coast region. The following 



new species are described and figured : Gardium (Adacna?) .', Gyrena brevidens, Corbi- 



cula willisi, C.pugelensis, Batissa newberryi, B. dubia, Psammobia obscura, Sanguinolaria ? 

 caudata, Teredo pugetensis, Neritina f Cerithium .' 



Part 5. Mesozoic Mollusca from the southern coast of the Alaskan Peninsula, pp. 65-70. The 

 fossils described in this article are from tho shores of Kialagvic, or Wraugell Bay, on the 

 southern side of the Alaskan Peninsula. They are certainly Mesozoic and seem to indicate 

 that they come from a formation somewhat earlier than the Cretaceous. The following 

 new species are described and figured: Gueullica increbescens, Glycimeris ' dulli, Belem- 



nites .' Belemnites —? Ammonites (Lillia) howelli, A. (Lillia) kialagvikensis, A. 



(Amaliheus ) wh iteaoesii.
