number of them so near to living species that it is only by critical 

 tests that we can separate them. But the recent Analogues of 

 these shells resolve themselves into at least two catagories, name- 

 ly i° species still living in the West Indies, and 2 0 species not 

 now living in the West Indies. And we find the resemblances of 

 the West Indian miocene shells are largely with Pacific and In- 

 dian species rather than with West Indian species. Many again 

 are akin to European miocene species, so that when we compare 

 the fossil Fauna as a whole we find it very unlike the recent 

 West Indian Fauna. 



It may be noted as regards this collection that litoral shells 

 are absent from it. 



At different times I determined Fossils for Mr. Cunningham 

 Craig. Several of these had previously occurred to me in the 

 Caroni beds of Savaneta and are included in my list already pub- 

 lished. To complete the list of miocene fossils so far known I 

 add the names of such as were not given in that list to those of 

 the Springvale Fossils now recorded. These Fossils are addition-

al evidence of the miocene age of the Springvale Savaneta and 

 Montserrat beds and of the essential identity of their Fauna with 

 that of the Bowden beds of Jamaica and the miocene formations 

 of Haiti and Cumana.

 which, however, the letter P (page 451 line 9) should be D.]
