“The Cenozoic heds referred to are the Loup Fork, .Blanco and Equus 
beds. Their geographical and stratigraphical relations and their paleon- 
tology are described, especial attention being given to the Blanco Fauna, 
which is intermediate in character between the others.’’ See “A Pre- 
liminary Report on the Vertebrate Paleontology of the Llano Estacado,”

the determination of the occurrence of both Tertiary and Quaternary de- 
posits [in the region of the Llano Estacado], and that the forms of the
