16 FOSSIL FISHES OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 



(7) Brea Canon, one and a half miles from Olinda, Orange County, 

 Collection of W. O. Clark. The roek at this locality is a very hard sand- 

 stone of a dark greenish-gray color ; a few fragments of fishes preserved, 

 scarcely identifiable. In the Olinda rocks is found a single, small 

 mussel, apparently an ally of MYTILUS. In none of the other rocks have 

 any animals other than fishes come to my notice. Of fishes there are 

 several specimens of some CLUPEOID fish in poor condition, and a small, 

 much crushed GANOLYTES, presumably G. CLEPSYDRA. 



(8) Miocene deposits of Kern County, Ocoya Creek, Oil City, 

 Barker's Ranch, Bena. From these deposits thousands of sharks' teeth 

 have been taken. We list these for completeness' sake, but mostly with- 

 out comment, referring the student to papers of Agassiz, 6 Jordan, 

 Leriche, 7 and Jordan and Beal, 8 in which all that is known of these 

 species is given. 



(9) Miocene deposits of Fresno County, at Coalinga and Zapata 

 Chino. 



(10) Carpinteria, Santa Barbara County. 



We acknowledge our obligations to different naturalists and to the 

 curators of local museums about Los Angeles, for their interest in this 

 work and for the loan of specimens. The large collections of Mr. E. E. 

 Hadley were placed for safe-keeping in the Museum of the Lorquin 

 Natural History Society at Los Angeles. From these a series of types 

 has been presented to Stanford University by Mr. Hadley. The speci- 

 mens collected by Mr. Ray G. Van Cleve, Dr. Gilbert, and their 

 sudents in the Los Angeles High School have also been presented 

 from the Science and Arts Museum at the High School. Dr. Charles 

 Lincoln Edwards has presented specimens from the museum of the city 

 grade schools. Specimens of fossil pipe-fish have been borrowed from 

 Professor H. H. Nininger of La Verne College, and specimens of living 

 species from Professor William E. Ritter of the Seaside Laboratory at 

 La Jolla.
