Introduction 



In resuming an intensive studj^ of the east American Ter- 

 tiary molluscan fauna after an interval of about twentj' j-ears,: 

 devoted of necessity to other phases of investigation, the senior 

 author finds that there has accumulated in our laborator}- se\'eral 

 little lots of fossils, odds and ends, so to speak, that will scarcely 

 fit into the general systematic studies here being undertaken, for 

 some time to come. But a knowledge of these fossils and their 

 occurrence may not be without interest now to Tertiar}' geolo- 

 gists and paleontologists in that they ma}- give suggestions as to 

 where to look and what to look for in various out-of-the-way 

 ])laces. 



The junior author has endeavored to clear up some of the 

 obscure points in the molluscan faunas of the Eocene of Virginia 

 and Trinidad, while the the senior author is resjionsible for what 

 is said regarding those from the Carolinas and Texas.
