formation and the Castle Hayne marl were, however, abundantly 

 represented on the dump heaps by easily identifiable materials. 



The most abundant material was gray, calcareous sandstone of the 

 Peedee formation, containing many fossils preserved in part as the 

 original shell material, such as the oyster, in part in the form of 

 finely granular dolomitic calcite, of which some of the specimens of 

 Gardium, Crassatellites^ and Veniella are examples, and in part as 

 interior casts and exterior molds. Fragments of coarse conglomer- 

 ate consisting chiefly of phosphatic pebbles in a glauconitic sand 

 matrix were common and these were obviously taken from the 

 basal conglomeratic layer of the Castle Hayne formation. On sev- 

 eral of the dumps were fragments of hard white limestone and 

 masses of loose crumbly marl containing bryozoa, echinoids, and 

 pectens, and these materials were derived from the Castle Hayne 

 marl above the basal conglomerate. The collection includes two 

 heretofore undescribed echinoids, seven new pelecypods, two new 

 gastropods, and more perfectly preserved specimens of one pelecy- 

 pod, Gardiwn {T r achy car diuTii) fenderense Stephenson, described 

 in the volume to which reference has already been made. There are 

 also pelecypods and gastropods too imperfectly preserved for specific 

 identification, some of which probably belong to undescribed species.
