It is not the -mriter's present purpose to criticise the various points raised 

 in this ingenious classification, but exception must certainly be taken to the 

 minor divisions such as Thaneton, Upnorin, «&o., which are unnecessary. Many 

 geologists will not regret the merging together of the Eocene with a great 

 portion of the Oligocene. Certain of the beds included in the Garumnian have 

 a decidedly Cretaceous aspect. No attempt has been made here to revise the 

 names of fossils mentioned in this classification,
