TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



The horizon appears to be a Httle higher than the Tampa silex beds and equiva- 

 lent to the Tampa limestone, a fact demonstrated by the researches of Mr. T- 

 W. Vaughan of the United States Geological Survey.*

 near Yorktown, Harris ; of Petersburg, Burns ; of the Darlington district,

This is a large, rather rude species attached by the right valve, with crenu- 

 late inner margins and radially striated, rather closely appressed, concentric 

 lamellation. The average diameter is about fifty-five millimetres.

Miocene of Shiloh and Jericho, Cumberland County, New Jersey, Burns ; 

 of Plum Point and Church Hill, Maryland ; of the York and James Rivers, of 

 Petersburg and Dinwiddle, and Prince George County, Virginia ; of South 

 Carolina near Darlington ; of Florida at De Leon Springs, Jackson Bluft", and 

 sixteen miles southwest of Tallahassee ; also recent on the coast. 



This is a small, very plump species, rudely frilled and fluted on both valves, 

 the flutings on the free valve sometimes recurving as very short, close-set 



* It is well to state here that some of this limestone has long been in the National 

 Museum with the label " White limestone of Claiborne, Alabama," furnished by an emi- 

 nent paleontologist whose labels must in some way have got mixed. Several species in- 

 cluded in this work have been described from these casts and referred to Claiborne, 

 whereas they form a part of the Jacksonboro' fauna. Of these Mr. Vaughan by exam- 

 ining the collection has been able to make the following enumeration : Bulla pctrosa 

 Conrad; Strombus albirupianus Dall (p. 174) ; Ccrithmm georgianum Lyell; Calyptrwa 

 trochiformis Lamarck; Xenophora humilis Conrad; Amauropsis ocalana Dall (p. 377)- 

 and Ampullina streptostoma Heilprin. besides others not specifically identified.
