  Harper: 
  A 
  week 
  ix 
  eastern 
  Texas 
  

  

  which 
  adjoins 
  it 
  on 
  the 
  west. 
  The 
  boundary 
  between 
  this 
  and 
  

  

  College 
  Station 
  has 
  not 
  been 
  

  

  ntry 
  

  

  definitely 
  located, 
  but 
  is 
  probably 
  somewhere 
  near 
  the 
  Trinity 
  

   River. 
  This 
  region 
  does 
  not 
  differ 
  conspicuously 
  from 
  the 
  Eocene 
  

   red 
  hill 
  belt 
  that 
  extends 
  from 
  South 
  Carolina 
  to 
  Mississippi, 
  but 
  

   it 
  is 
  separated 
  from 
  that 
  by 
  the 
  width 
  of 
  the 
  Mississippi 
  River
