WAR LECTOR, cf- J&^j 



CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE INCLOSED ORGANISM BELONGS TO* - I 

 INTERPRET IT AS A SPORE- CASE OF SOME KIND, BUT CAN'T IDENTIFY IT IT IS 

 IMPORTANT AS THE LEADING FOSSIL OF THE • • CH AMFLAIN' • PERIOD OF OPPRESSION 

 WHEN THE MISSI. BOTTOM PLAIN, AT LEAST UP TO MRMPHIS, WAS A SKAMP, IN 

 WHICH THE ' 'BUCKSHOT* • SOIL WAS BEING DEPOSITED TOR THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE 

 COTTON-PLANTERS. - IT DOES NOT OCCUR IN ANY OF THE DEUCED RIVER DEPOSIT 

 L-UERY, DOES IT BELONG TO ANY PLANT NOW GROWING IN THE BOTTOM SWAMPS? - 

 I HAVE BERN THINKING OF YOUR FAVORITE ISOETES; BUT NOTHING THAT I KNOW 

 OF FITS EXACTLY, IT MI CliT BELONG TO A MOSS GROWING ON THE CYPRESS TREES 

 ABOVE, AND FALLING IN; THAT IAS ME FIRST IDEA, BUT I CAN'T FIND A MOSS 

 THE CA TO FIT IT, EITHER. 



I AM WORKING UF THE BORINGS OF THE MISS. RIV. COMMISSION FROM MEMPHIS 

 TO LAKE PROVIDENCE, AND THIS FOSSIL IS IMPORTANT IN THE IDENTIFICATION 

 OF CORRESPONDING DEPOSITS. i*«uauuo}|
