rudely parallel to the Blue Kidge trench. 



" Second, That the deposits would he much greater near the main- 

 land at the East than at two hundred miles away ; so that six hun- 



represent the four thousand feet of Chemung in Eastern I'ennsylva- 



" Third, That the water beyond the reach of the great land wash 

 held a Chemung fauna throughout the whole line of the Catskill 

 deposit." (Proceeds. A. A. A. 8., vol. xl, 1891.) 



"Water-Bearing Horizons of Southern New Jersey. — 

 Mr. Lewis Woolman reports the discovery of a third water-bearing 



zons continue under the beaches South of Barnegat Inlet and beneath 

 the Southern interior to a distance of 25 or 30 miles or more from 

 the coast. The two upper ones have an intimate connection with a 

 diatomaceous day-bed, havintr a thickness of 300 feet. In view of the 

 thickness and extent of the diatomaceous clay-hed in New Jersey, Mr. 

 Woolman thinks its prolongation into the Southern Atlantic States 

 should be expected, and that there is a strong probability that the 

 outcrops on Chesapeake Bay near Annapolis at N .mini Cliffs, and at 

 Richmond, Va., are either identical with the New Jersey stratum or 

 closelv related to it and belonging to the same series (Annual Kept 

 N. J.Geol. Surv.,1890).
