which 17 are new; Molluscoidea, 2 sp. nov.; Brachiopoda, 1 sp. nov. ; 
Mollusca, 132, of which 82 are new. The text is illustrated by 46 
plates of drawings, some of which were made by the writer. (Fourth

_ The discovery of fossil Cretaceous plants at Glen Cove, and various 
other localities in Long Island, by Mr. Arthur Hollick, together with 
the collections made by Mr. David White in Gardiners Island, Block 
Island, Center Island and Marthas Vineyard, have enabled Mr. Hol- 
lick to trace the continuity of the cretaceous strata from New Jersey 
through Staten and Long Islands to Marthas Vineyard, and to dem- 
onstrate beyond question that the theory of Mather and subsequent 
observers in regard to the eastward extension of the cretaceous forma- 
tion was correct, and emphasizes the probability that certain limited 
areas of the New England coast could also be referred to that horizon.

Two new forms of the Pyenodont genus Anomeedus, A. superbus 
and A. willetti from the upper English Cretaceous are described by A. 
Smith Woodward. This genus was described by Forir, but his defini- 
tion was based solely upon the arrangement of the splenial teeth. The 
new material enables Woodward to make the definition more satisfac- 
tory. In the same paper the author describes the splenial dentition of 
two new species of Ceelodus, C. inaequidens and C. fimbriatus. (Geol. 
Mag., Nov., 1893.) 
In some notes on a few fossil leaves from the Fort Union group 
of Montana, Mr. F. H. Knowlton describes a new species, Populus 
meedsii, evidently related to P. heerii Sap. from the Eocene at Floris- 
sant, Colorado, and which has for a living analogue P. angustifolia 
James, a species living along streams from New Mexico and Colorado 
to California and Washington. (Proceeds. U. S. Natl. Mus., Vol. 
XVI, 1893.) 
Cenozoic.—In a study of the rocks of Carmelo Bay, California, 
Mr. A. C. Lawson finds no evidence for Whitney’s statement that 
Miocene rocks are here invaded by a mass of granite. The rocks, 
consisting of sandstone and shales, are probably Eocene, and rest upon 
a worn and eroded surface of granite. The supposed metamorphic 
rocks are laminated voleanic flows. Miocene formations are abund- 
antly developed but do not extend down to to the shores of the bay.
