of the Post-eocene Tertiary deposits of the Atlantic slope,” pp. 
= 150186; “On the occurrence of Nummulitic deposits in Florida, 
= andthe association of Nummulites with a fresh-water fauna,” pp. 
189-193 ; “ On the age of the Tejon rocks of California, and the 
occurrence of Ammonites in Tertiary deposits,” pp. 196-214. 
In the first of these papers Professor Heilprin states his positive 
conviction that the Tejon group of California is Tertiary and not 
Cretaceous, and in the fourth paper he reaffirms this opinion. In 
the second paper he takes the ground thåt no true Pliocene de- 
posits occur on the Atlantic slope of the United States. 
In September Mr. U. P. James published No. 6 of his “ Palæ- 
ontologist,” pp, 46-53. It contains “Descriptions of ten new 
species of Monticulipora from the Cincinnati group, Ohio.” 
The well-known Swiss palzontologist, Professor P. de Loriol 
has, in the Journal of the Cincinnati Society of Natural History, 
P. 118, Plate v, a “ Description of a new species of Bourgueti- 
crinus,” from the Ripley group, Cretaceous, of Alabama. 
Mr. S. A. Miller has published a new edition of his useful “ Cata- 
logue of American Paleozoic Fossils.” He has also published the 
following papers in Volume v of the Journal of the Cincinnati 
Society of Natural History: “Description of two new genera and 
tight new species of fossils from the Hudson River group, with 
om ks upon others ;” “ Description of ten new species of fossils ;”’ 
k Description of three new species and remarks upon others sie 
Description of three new orders and four new families in the 
class Echinodermata, and eight new species, from the Silurian and 
Devonian formations.” These papers are one each in the four 
_ Rumbers of the journal, in the order here mentioned. They are 
2 all illustrated on Plates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 9 of that volume. 
Professor J. S. Newberry opposes the views of Professor Heil- 
= ies that the Tejon group of California is of Tertiary age, in an 
_ “ticle in the Proceedings of the Academy of Natural Sciences for 
1882, pp. 194, 195, entitled “On supposed Tertiary Ammonites.” 
fessor A. S. Packard, Jr., in an article in the AMERICAN 
Naturist for April, opposing the views of Professor Lankester 
at Limulus is an Arachnid nearly related to the scorpions, calls 
attention to the fact that scorpions and limuloid crustaceans ex- 
Sted as early as the Carboniferous age, and were then as widely 
““rentiated from each other as now.
