602 ARNOLD AND HANNIBAL— MARINE TERTIARY [April 19. 



Squak Mountain, and southward to Green River, so far as palaeo- 

 botanical evidence goes are of Chehalis age. Those at Belhngham 

 appear to be younger, though more than one horizon may be repre- 

 sented. In any event the continued use of the name Puget is very 

 misleading since the Upper Puget, so-called, is earliest Tejon (Che- 

 halis), and the Lower Puget is later Tejon. 



A. C. Lawson, 1894, " Note on the Chehalis Sandstone."*^^^ This 

 formation redefined has already been considered as a division of the 

 Tejon. 



J. C. Merriam, 1896, " Note on Two Tertiary faunas from the 

 Rocks of the south coast of Vancouver Island."*'* The section 

 between Muir and Coal Creeks west of Sooke where Dr. New- 

 combe collected for Merriam in the early 90's, and courteously 

 accompanied the junior writer in 191 2, is recognized as the type of 

 the Sooke formation. Dr. Merriam states that he never intended 

 to name a Carmanah Point formation but the name has passed into 

 the literature. The beds at this point are San Lorenzo shales over- 

 lain unconformably by Monterey conglomerate in the cliff be- 

 neath the lighthouse. Dr. Newcombe's collection came from the 

 San Lorenzo shales, from Sooke boulders in the Monterey, and from 

 the Monterey itself. The list should be expurged. The one quoted 

 from Dall was derived from the San Lorenzo beds at Bonilla Point ; 

 it requires some revision. 



W. H. Dall, 1898, "A Table of the North American Tertiary 

 Horizons Correlated with One Another and with Those of Western 

 Europe with Annotations."^^ The " foraminiferal shales . . . con- 

 formably underlying the Tunnel Point beds at Coos Bay, Oregon " 

 contain a characteristic San Lorenzo fauna. The portion of the 

 Tunnel Point beds adjacent to the " foraminiferal shales" represent 

 a sandstone phase of the San Lorenzo. However, the bulk of the 

 type section and the beds from which the fauna listed by Dall^^ 

 came are of Empire age being separated from the main Empire
