17. Cytherea vespertina, Con. {aff.). 



1 8. Trochita inornata, Gabb. {aff.). 

 19 Mytilus edulis, Linn. (<?^). 



20. Tnrritcila no v. sp. 

 2 1 . Cardium nov. sp. 



22. Cytherea sp. 



23. Sole 11 sp. 



24. Bored wood, Teredo (?) sp. 



In addition to this list Dr. Newcombe has sent the following 

 list of species, determined by Dr. W. H. Dall, in a collection made 

 near Carmanah Point in 1890. 



1. Axinus bisectus, Con. 



2. Clirysodomns sp. (found in Oregon Miocene). 



3. Veneroid (possibly dementia'). 



4. Macoma uasuta. Con. 



5. Venus perteuuis, Gabb. 



6. Pachyponia biangulata, Gabb. (con/.). 



7. Mytilus edulis, Linn. (aff.). 



8. Pleurotoma indet. 



9. Teredo sp. 



Correlation. — Of these species numbers 1-17 of the writer's list 

 occur in Conrad's Astoria Miocene, Trochita inornata (No. 18) and 

 forms like Mytilus edulis (No. 19) occur in the Miocene of Califor- 

 nia, Nos. 20 and 2 i are new, and the other three forms are doubtful. 



Of Dr. Dall's list the Axinus bisectus and Chrysodomus occur at 

 Astoria. A Clementia-like shell, which was seen in Dr. Newcombe's 

 collection, looked very much like Cytherea oregonensis, Con., found 

 originally near Astoria. Macoma uasuta, Venus pertenuis and 

 forms like Mytilus edulis, are found in the Miocene of California. 

 Pachypoma biangulata occurs in rocks of doubtful age (Neocene) 

 in California. Lhe species of Teredo and Pleurotoma not being 

 identified, need not be considered farther. 



The fauna of the Carmanah Point beds seems, on the whole, to 

 be the same as that of Conrad's Astoria Miocene, excluding, how- 

 ever, the lower portion of the latter series, which has been supposed 

 to be of Eocene age.
