Nariva .Series. The want of specific determinations of the 
fossils procured by the Geological Surve\’ renders it difficult 
for me to establish any comparison between the fauna of the 
deposits referred to and those of the Manzanilla and San 
Fernando beds on the one hand. Consequently I cannot 
be quite sure that I am correct in my classification of the 
Moruga and Tamana beds. 
I propose that the names Newer Parian and Older Parian 
applied by the Geological .Survey .should be dropped. The 
Newer Parian includes the whole of the tertiary formations 
older than the postpliocene detrital .series, whilst the term 
Older Parian was given to the lower cretaceous .strata. 
These latter ma}’ retain the local name of Pointe a Pierre 
Beds, their geological age being probably neocomian.
