Phosphate beds; South Carolina: Miocene; 

 North Carolina. 



Dr. E. Koken, in Zeitschrift deutchen geolog. Gesellsch., vol. xl, pp. 274-305, pis. xvii-xix, has 

 described, from the Tertiary deposits of Alabama and Mississippi, the following list of otolites of fishes, 

 designating the families, in some cases the genera, to which these otolites probably belonged. The 

 word Otolithus being evidently not regarded as a generic name, the specific names have no standing 

 in the system of nomenclature. 



On the subject of the otolites of fishes see also Higgins, E. T. 1867 A., and Koken, E. 1891 A.
