reports the discovery of fossil fish and labyrinthodonts in the Green 
Gritty Marls, immediately overlying the Red Marls of the Upper 
Keuper in Warwickshire. The fish are represented by scales, numerous 
large and small spines of cestracionts, and the palatal teeth of Acrodus 
keuperinus ; the labyrinthodonts, by fragments of bonesonly. (Quart. 
Journ. Geol. Soc., May, 1893.) 
Cenozoic.—Mr. Lydekker has described and figured three new 
Cetaceans:—Zeuglodon caucasicus characterized by its small size; 
? Platanistide, represented by an associated series of four cervical, and 
the first dorsal, a lumbar, and a caudal vertebra; Iniopsis caucasica, 
which has maxillary fossz of the Inia type. The fossils in question 
were found in Eocene strata of the Caucasus Mountains. (Proceeds. 
London, Zool. Soc., Nov., 1892).—Mr. J. S. Diller has published evi- 
dence to show that the Shasta-Chico series in California and Oregon is 
the result of continuous sedimentation, and that there is a faunal break 
in Oregon between the Chico and the Tejon. (Bull. Geol. Soc. Am., 
Vol., 4, 1893.) 
Mr. E. T. Dumble reports a bed of Volcanic Dust in Texas. Its 
stratigraphic position is in the brown-coal series of the Fayette beds, 
and, if the correlation of these beds be correct, of Miocene age. (Trans. 
Texas Acad. Sci, 1892.) _
