 Texas. 



Note. — The brackish water moUuscan fauna of Burkeville, 

 Texas; Alexandria and Pine Prairie, La., was referred in 

 19 1 4 by Dr. Dall to the Pliocene. Dr. W. D. Matthew thought 

 the mammalian remains (tibia of a rhinoceros and upper 

 molar of a horse, ^hh^r Protohippus or Merychippus) indicat- 

 ed a Late Miocene or Early Pliocene age. For discussion of 

 the Burkeville beds (lower member of the Fleming clay) see 

 Dumble, Univ. Tex, Bull. No. 1869, pp. 224-225, 1918. The 

 stratigraphic relation of the Burkeville beds rather sug- 

 gests an Upper Miocene horizon.
