Gane, Henry Stewart. A Contribution to the Neocene Corals of the 

 United States. 



Johns Hopkins Univ. Circ. vol. xv, pp. 8-10, 1895. 



The author believes "that the corals of the Neocene flourished as shallow-water forms 

 with preponderating reef-building tendencies." Five species from the Miocene of Vir- 

 ginia are described, one of which is new.

A list of 21 species of foraminifera from the Eocene deposits of Virginia is given,

 Delaware. Maryland, and Virginia.

 Jour. Geol., vol. v, pp. 310-312, 1897. 



The paper contains a bibliography and historical review of the literature of the 

 Eocene of the Middle Atlantic region and a discussion of the stratigraphy and paleonto- 

 logical characteristics of the deposits. Two distinct faunas, the Aquia Creek and Wood- 

 stock are recognized. The most important fossils aro described and figiircl. 



The Potomac River Section of the Middle Atlantic Coast Eocene. 



Amer. Jour. Sci., 4th ser., vol. i, pp. 365-374, 1896. 



The lithology and paleontology of the Eocene strata of the Potomac River basin are 

 described. The author believes they represent a single geological unit, the Pamunkey 

 formation with two clearly defined faunal zones, the Aquia Creek stage and the Wood- 

 stock stage.
