5. Tertiary of North and South Carolina; by T. A.Coyrap. (From 
a letter to one of the editors, dated Philadelphia, Jan. 31, 1867.)—The 
Tertiary strata of North and South Carolina are well wor thy of a more 
ine at than they have yet received. Prof. Tuomey has described 
Eocene strata in South Carolina, i in which he finds many 
resceshems see the following Cretaceous forms: Ammonites placenta, Tere- 
bratula Harlani, Gryphea mutabilis, and Spondylus gregalis. He re- 
sippi, and seplaily y the eiocortent see of Cretaceous fossils in 
the Miocene of Cape Fear river, N.C. No one would believe that they 
lived through the Eocene pe eriod and escaped aia into that of the Mio- 
e. Prot. Emmous remarks that Belemnitella mucronata, Hxogyra 
costata, ry Cucullea vulgaris (cast) are all found in the Miocene, and 
he regards their presence as accidental. 
The Ostrea Georgiana, according to Tuomey, i is associated, near Aiken, 
8. C,, with O. Alabamiensis, which is a species of the siliceous sand stra- 
tum of Claiborne. The buhrstone of South Carolina and Georgia, by 
their fauna, would appear to be synchronous with the above-mentioned 
sand group of Alabama. The O. Ge eorgiana may be of this age, or im- 
mediately succeeding it, but does not occur in the older Eocene, though 
it might be inferred from some accounts of Shell Bluff that were asso- 
of from four to ten esi thickness. : This co mplete separation 
and appears everywhere to have been secidoaty: introduced into the Eocene 
fauna, and to have had a short existence compared with 0. selleeformis, 
as a deposit of six feet is the greatest thickness record
