CAPE COD GEOLOGY. 



203 



The first complete account of the geology of Long Island, in which the author reiter- 

 ates his previous conclusions. A very helpful paper in the interpretation of the 

 geology of Marthas Vineyard, whose geologic features are similar to those of Long 

 Island.

 17, pp. 710-711 (1907); Annals, New York Acad. Sci. 17, pp. 624-625 (1907). 



Summarizes, in two pages, the geology of Marthas Vineyard, and shows by dia- 

 grams the positions of the Wisconsin ice lobes.

Science, new ser., 29, p. 634; Bull. Geol. Soc. America, 20, p. 672 (1910). 



Concludes, from recent investigations, that the Magothy formation extends 

 northward as far as Marthas Vineyard.

1914. Fuller, M. L. The geology of Long Island, N. Y.: U. S. Geol. Survey, Prof. Paper 82, 



231 pp. 



The most complete work on the geology of the northeastern part of the Atlantic 

 Coastal Plain. Describes the same deposits that are found on Marthas Vineyard. 

 Establishes the Pleistocene succession not only for Long Island but for Cape Cod and 

 the other New England islands. Makes possible a satisfactory interpretation of the 

 geology of Marthas Vineyard. 



1915. Berry, E. W. The age of the Cretaceous flora of southern New York and New England: 



Jour. Geology, 23, pp. 608-618. 



Gives a brief review of the literature on the age of the Cretaceous beds in this 



region. Classifies the beds carrying Cretaceous fossil plants as Magothy. Finds no 



evidence of the llaritan formation east of Brooklyn. 

 1917. Allen, G. M. The whalebone whales of New England: Mem. Boston Soc. Nat. Hist., 



8, No. 2, pp. 282-285. 



Describes the fossil bones found at Gay Head and refers some of them to one 



species. Notes the occurrence of fossils, and classifies them according to age. A 



plate shows some of the specimens.
