INTRODUCTION 



In the course of a study of the Monterey series, as it appears 

 along the east shore of San Pablo Bay and in the vicinity of 

 Mt. Diablo, the writer found it necessary to compare the fauna 

 with that of the type section of the Monterey at the town of Mon- 

 terey. The writer visited the type locality and brought together 

 what seemed to be a representative collection of the molluscan 

 fauna. As comparatively little relative to the palaeontology of 

 the type section has been published it seemed desirable to record 

 such information as is available.
