Palaeontology, vol. 2. Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils ; by W. 

 M. Gabb. Philadelphia, 1869. xiv and 299 pp., with 36 

 plates. 



Section I, Part I, was issued in February, 1866 ; the remainder 

 of this volume was printed in December, 1868. In the preface Prof. 

 J. D. Whitney divides the Cretaceous as follows : 



1. The Tejox Group, most extensively developed in the vicinity 

 of Fort Tejon and about Martinez ; from the latter locality it forms 

 an almost continuous belt in the coast ranges to Marsh's, 15 miles 

 east of Mount Diablo, where it sinks under the San Joaquin plain. 



2. The Martinez Group, found at Martinez and on the northern 

 flank of Mount Diablo. 



3. The Chico Group, an extensive member of the Pacific Coast 

 Cretaceous ; it is represented in Shasta and Butte counties and in 

 the foothills of the Sierra Nevada as far south as Folsom, also in 

 the coast ranges bordering Sacramento Valley at Martinez, and in 

 Orestimba canyon, Stanislaus County. 



4. The Shasta Group, a provisional name to include all below 

 the Chico Group.
