California, elevation of, during the Tertiary epoch; by T. A. 

 Conrad. Am. Jour. Sci., 1st ser., Vol. 35, 1839, p. 245. 



In the author's article, "Notes on American Geology," in this jour- 

 nal, the author remarks: "On the coast of California Mr. Nuttall 

 found shells of recent species two hundred feet above the sea. These 

 are so much more remote from the axis of elevation than the Ter- 

 tiary shell of New York that the uplift of the Rocky Mountains must 

 have been far greater during the upper Tertiary period than was any 

 part of the Atlantic chain." 



Fossil shells from the Tertiary deposits on the Columbia River, 

 near Astoria; by T. A. Conrad. Am. Jour. Sci., 2d ser.. 

 Vol. 5, 1848, pp. 432-433. 14 woodcuts. 



The author describes and figures the following fossils, principally 

 from cement-stone bowlders at Astoria, Oregon : Nucula devaricata, 

 n.sp.; N.cuneiformis, n.sp.; N.abrupta,ii.s-p.; Mactraalbaria,n.sp.; Tel- 

 Una OregonensiSjTi.sp.] T. obruta, n.sp.; Loripes parilis, n.sp.; Ci/therea 

 Oregonensis, n.sp.; C vespertina, n.sp.; Nucula penita, n.sp.; Bullina 

 petrosa, n.sp.; Pyrula modesta, n.sp.; Fusus Oregonensis, n.sp.; Solen 

 ciirtus, n.sp. 



The following species were collected by the writer at Astoria, and 

 sent to the American Musevim at New York. As the list is unpub- 

 lished, it may be well to include it as a note to Mr. Conrad's paper: 

 Nucula devaricata, Con.; N. impressa, Con.; Tellina albaria. Con.; So- 

 lemya ventricosa, Con.; Pecten propatulus, Con.; Area devincta, Con.; 

 Venus bisecta, Con.; Pectunculus nitens, Con.; Vemis angicstifrons, Con.; 

 Tellina eniacerata, Con.; T. arctata, Con.; Lucina acalitmeata, Con.; 

 Cardita sublenta, Con.; Terebratula nitens, Con.; Dolitim petrosium, 

 Con.; Rostellariaindurata, Con.; Fusus geniculus; Sigeretus (Lumatia) 

 scopulosa; Teredo substriatus; A dentalium; Naulitus angulatus, 

 Con. Besides these there are three or four species of bivalves and 

 four of Gasteropods, undetermined, and one Brachipod. These 

 fossils were collected from the cement stones and argillaceous shales ; 

 all belong to one geological period, as the same species are found in 

 each to some extent, though most are different.
