Dear Sirs 
M I have examined the small lot of Cretaceous foesils collected 
by Prof. P. T. Cleve on the island of St. Thomas, West Indie© , which 
you have placed in my hands. While the forms are undoubtedly Cretaceous 
they do not belong to any American species known to me and I cannot 
assign them to a definite horizon within the Cretaceous system. If 
comparisons be made with fauna; occurring in the United States the relative 
abundance of species of Perinea and the occurrence of Actaeonalla sug- 
gests the fauna of the Edwards limestone (Lower Cretaceous) more than 
any other, but this resemblance may be due to similarity of facies rath- 
er than of age, for in Europe. those genera are common in the Upper Cre- 
taceous, especially the Tu roman. A resemblance to the Cretaceous fauna 
of Jamaica would naturally be expected but the only suggestion of like- 
ness is in the occurrence of Actaeonolla in both, while the Bu.distae 
w$lch are so conspicuous in Jamaica are not represented here® 
"The following genera are recognized in the collectionss 
Glyc.ymeris 
Limopais 
Astarte - several species 
Op is 
Cyprina ? 
Corbula 
Cerithium - two or more species 
Nerinea - several species
