Notes 



BLACK BLUFF OR SUCARNOCHKE HORIZON. 



Prof. H. H. Smith and wife collected a number of species 

 from these clays not far from Camden, Ala., in the vicinity of 

 Estelle, Ala. The deposit consists of an aluminous clay, dark 

 chocolate in color, and contains the greater part of the species 

 mentioned by Prof. G. D. Harris from the bluff at Fort Gaines 

 on the Chattahoochee River where they seem to be represented 

 principally by casts. Those near Bstelle are rather numerous, 

 but very fragile. A few new species are described in this paper.
