TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



species is C. (Cuncocorbula) siibcompressa Gabb (1860) from the Midway of 

 Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas. 



From the Chickasawan (or Lignitic) we have the following : 



1. Corbiila concha Aldrich, Bull. Pal., ii., p. 7, pi. 5, fig. 6, 1895 ; Harris, Bull. 



Pal., ix., p. 66, pi. 13, fig. 1 1, 1897. 



2. Corbula Aldriclii Meyer, Am. Journ. Sci., xxx., 1885, p. 67; Bull. Ala. 



Geol. Surv., i., p. 83, pi. I, fig. 21, 1886; Harris, Bull. Pal, ix., p. 67, 

 pi. 13, figs. 12, 13^, 1897. 



3. Corbula subcngonata Dall, Harris, Bull. Pal., ix., p. 68, pi. 13, fig. 14 rf, 1897 



(as alabatuicnsis Lea, var.) ; Aldrich., Bull. Ala. Geol. Surv., i., p. 58, 

 1886 (as C. cugonata Conrad). 



This form is smaller, less inflated, thinner, and with more nearly parallel 

 dorsal and ventral borders than C. alabainicnsis. The sculpture is finer than 

 in C. cugonata, which is a more elongated species. 



4. Corbula Grcgorioi Cossmann, Ann. Geol. et Pal., No. 12, p. 6, pi. I, figs. 



4, 5, 1894. 



The first is a typical Corbula with nearly smooth surface; the others 

 belong to Cnneocorbula. The last is abundant in the Claibornian, where it 

 has generally been mistaken for the young of C. nasnta Conrad. The Clai- 

 bornian contains a number of species some of which are restricted to this 

 horizon, but others are found in the beds below or continue into the Jack- 

 sonian.

The C. nasnta of Sowerby is a recent species from the west coast of 

 Central America, described in March, 1833. It is somewhat difficult to dis-
