blufts bordering Red river, and those from Saesiee county came from an 
interesting series of beds not hitherto recognized in Texas. Most of them 
were obtained fro m Septarize, imbedded in “bine and gray arenaceous clays. 
More than fifty speeies of fossils have been found in these strata, a large 
proportion of them new to 0 science, ee now for the first time describe
