A systematic description of 
the Lower Devonian fauna of 
Maryland. Many old forms are 
redescribed and figured, and a 
number of new genera and spe- 
cies founded. The article is 
based largely on Museum mate- 
rial, 
Berry, Howard Wiser. The Upper 
Cretaceous and Eocene floras of 
South Carolina and Georgia.

Presents the first systematic 
account of fossil plants from 
the Coastal Plain districts of 
Georgia and South Carolina, and 
although preliminary to a larger 
work, it describes a considerable 
fiora. Practically all of the 
specimens described are _ the 
property of the National Mu- 
seum,

Describes the invertebrate 
molluscan fossils of a newly dis- 
covered fauna, comprising the 
following new species and va- 
rieties: Rangia cuneata var. 80- 
lida, Heterodonax alexandra, 
Unio (Lampsilis?) sandrius, U. 
(Pleurobema?) alixus, U. (Unio) 
musius, Potamides matsoni, P. 
matsoni var. gracilior, Cerithiop- 
sis? burkevillensis, Pachycheilus 
anagrammatus, P, suavis, Turri- 
tella satilla, Isapis obsoleta, 
Syrnola thelma, Paludestrina 
aldrichi, P. curva, P. cingulata, 
P, turricula, P. milium, Pyrgu- 
lopsis? satilla, Neritina spar- 
silineata, and Planorbis ophis. 
The types are in the National 
Museum. 
nary report on a recently discovered 
Pleistocene cave deposit near Cum- 
berland, Maryland. 
Proc. U. S&S. Nat. Mus., 
46, No. 2014, Aug. 
23, 1913, pp. 93-102, 
figs. 1-8. 
A brief history of the discov- 
ery, locality, and description of 
the cave deposit is followed by 
a geologic history with a short 
discussion of its relative age, 
and probable manner of en- 
tombment of the animal remains. 
Tt is concluded that this deposit 
is older than the Conard Fissure 
of Arkansas, being probably 
about the equivalent of the Port 
Kennedy, Pa., cave deposit. A 
preliminary list of the fauna 
represented is given, followed by 
a description of two new species 
of carnivores, supplemented by 
brief notes on the lower teeth 
of canids, with especial refer- 
ence to the distinctive charac- 
ters presented in the carnassials. 
A classification of the principal 
living groups, with two extinct 
species included, is here based 
on these characters,

Five new species of pycno- 
dont fishes are here described, 
those referable to Microdon, an 
Old World genus, constituting 
the first record of the presence 
of this form in deposits of this 
continent.

A preliminary description of 
the new Ceratopsian dinosaur 
Brachyceratops montanensis, 
from the Two Medicine forma-

This form is of interest as being 
the most diminutive member of 
the Ceratopsia yet discovered.
