SANTA BARBARA. 
The later deposits in the vicinity of Santa Barbara resemble 
quite closely those of San Diego. At Packard’s Hill, west of 
Santa Barbara, a thickness of over two hundred feet of alternat- 
ing hard and soft beds of brown sandstone is exposed. These 
beds have a dip of S. 30° W. 50° toward the ocean. They are 
correlated by the writers with the Deadman Island Pliocene. 
Their fauna, however, shows a greater resemblance in some 
respects to the fauna of the San Diego formation (Pliocene).

Fic. 7.— Santa Barbara. Section along coast southwest of bath house, showing 
relation between the Miocene and lower and upper San Pedro series (Pleistocene). 
A thickness of thirty feet of alternating hard and soft beds 
of sandstone and sandy marl are exposed in the bluff west of 
the bath house on the Santa Barbara ocean front (see Plate 
V and Fig. 7). These strata are quite similar lithologically to 
the Packard’s Hill Pliocene and probably lie conformably above 
it. The fauna of the: bath house beach beds is more recent 
than that of the Packard’s Hill deposits, and contain Stvongylo- 
centrotus purpuratus, Echinarachnius excentricus, and several other 
Pleistocene species not found in the Pliocene. Upon paleonto- 
logical evidence the bath house beach deposits are correlated 
with the lower San Pedro series. 
Beds of unfossilferous gravel and sand are exposed in the 
bluff west of the bath house beach fossiliferous strata. In some 
places these beds overlie the fossiliferous strata, while in others 
they overlie the basement series of Monterey shale. These 
sands and gravels, which are correlated with the upper San
