sediments of known age in Haiti. The Oceanic series of Hill, 
about 2,000 feet thick, corresponds in character to the Haitian 
series. Cuban occurrences are also similar. 
Maury’ has described the upper Oligocene-Miocene series in 
the Yaqui Valley of Santo Domingo and these same formations 
reach a great development in Haiti, where they overlie the limestone. 
In a section by Tippenhauer’ he found none of this limestone on 
Fic. 2.—Foraminiferal limestone on Grand Riviére de Jacmel, south peninsula 
the north side of the north range and likewise in Santo Domingo 
neither Gabb nor Maury mention this limestone north of the range. 
It is apparently entirely lacking on that side of the island. Hill# 
places a gap in middle Oligocene time between his Oceanic series 
and the Bowden of Jamaica, the latter of which corresponds to at 
least part of the Miocene of Maury’s section in Santo Domingo 
There is, however, no structural evidence of unconformity above 
the limestone in Haiti. Dips are generally concordant and where 
they are not there is evidence of faulting.
