TERTIARY FAUNA OF FLORIDA 



to Cape St. Vincent on the coast of Spain, Iceland, and the Gulf of St. Law- 

 rence, Canada. 



The following species are cited as occurring on the Pacific coast in Tertiary 

 beds. 



Terebratula nitens Conrad, 1849. 



Tertiary of Astoria. This is, perhaps, a young Laqueus. 



Terebratella Whitneyi Gabb, 1866. 



Miocene of Napa County, California, and twenty miles east of Clear Lake 

 on the road from Colusa to the Hot Springs. This is doubtless a Terebratalia. 



Morrisia Hornii Gabb, 1861. 



Pleistocene of Santa Barbara, Heermann. This would now be called Pla- 

 tidia Hornii. 



Waldheimia Kennedyi Dall, 1874. 



Tertiary (Miocene?) of Cerros Island, ofif the coast of Lower California. 

 This is probably a Dallina. 



Laqueus Jeffreysi Dal\, 1871. 



Pliocene of San Diego, California. This specific name was applied to the 

 young form as Frenula Jeffreysi. The adult was later called Laqueus califor- 

 nicus var. vancouveriensis by Davidson in 1887. The receipt of large numbers 

 of the species leads to the belief that it is distinct from the true calif amicus of 

 Koch. 



Terebratalia Hemphilli Dall, 1902. 



Pliocene of Santa Barbara and of Point St. George, Crescent City, Cali- 

 fornia. An alHed or identical species is found in the Pliocene of San Pedro. 



Signor A. de Gregorio in his monograph of the Claiborne Fauna (1890) 

 has described a Terebratulina innovata and a Thecidea claibornensis. It ap- 

 pears that the habitat of neither of these species is definitely known, and even 

 the genus of the supposed Thecidea, based on a single dilapidated valve, is 

 uncertain. Before these species can be enumerated as forming part of our 

 Tertiary fauna more information is required.
