14 PALEONTOLOGY OF NEW JERSEY. 
This appears to be a complete summary of all knowledge possessed 
concerning the Miocene molluscan fauna of the State up to that time. Among 
the species given in his most complete list there are a few mentioned of which 
I have seen no representatives, namely Anomia ephippium (?) L. (Mysia) sp.? 
Saxicava incita (2) and Teredo sp. (2). Several others there enumerated, 
the fragments of which were examined, I have differently interpreted. 
These will be found mentioned in the synonyma of the species at the heads 
of descriptions, and they can be traced from the names given in the index 
hereto. In the present work one hundred and four species are recog- 
nized, which, with the four species given in Prof. Heilprin’s list, and the 
two species of Bryozoans given in Mr. Meek’s list would carry the number 
to one hundred and ten species, including the one Balanus." There is no 
doubt that many more species might be obtained were the beds more thor- 
oughly examined and other localities explored. As yet the examination has 
been very limited, being confined to the workings for marl for agricultural 
purposes, and to the material taken from the borings of wells at Atlantic 
City and Cape May. At the latter locality only three recognizable forms 
of shells were obtained, namely, Buccinanops variabilis, Terebra inornata, and 
the elongate variety of Tritia trivitattoides. Fragments of a few bivalve 
shells were also obtained, but of too indefinite a character for identification. 
At the Atlantic City boring a large number of species were obtained. 
Besides the molluscan remains enumerated, there have been some 
foraminiferous bodies recognized in the examination of a few ounces of the 
marls obtained from the interior of some of the shells. Mr. Anthony 
Woodward, of the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, 
has given me the following list of those found in marls from Shiloh, N. J.: 
Miliolina seminulum L. sp. Discorbina rosacea D’Orb. sp. 
Cristellaria cultrata Montf. sp. Truneatulina lobatula W. & J. sp. 
Italica Defrance sp. Anomalina ammouoides Rens. sp. 
Polymorphina gibba D’Orb. Pulvinulina elegans D’Orb. sp. 
oblonga D’Orb. Rotalia soldanii D’Orb. sp. 
Uvigerina Canariensis D’Orb. Polystomella striato-punctata F. & M. 
1 In Tuomey and Holmes’s Pliocene Fossils of South Carolina, Introduction, p. Ix, they state that 
one hundred and seven species of fossils are known from the corresponding beds of New Jersey, but 
as they give no list, we are left in doubt as to what the species may be, and as to their authenticity.
