'Kent is a station on the Texas and Pacifle Railroad 163 miles east of 
El Paso (in El Paso county near the Jeff Davis county line). It is sit- 
uated on the northeast slope of the Davis mo.untains. The railroad fol- 
lows a valley eroded in the iCretaceous foothills., The section here described 
is found in these hills north and south of the road within the radius of a 
mile of the depot..

Washita, Fredericksburg and Bosque Divisions of the Cretaceous, with an 
enumeration of their fossil contents.. A table S'howing the recorded strati- 
graphic i-ange 'of in Texas of the fossils found in the Washita division 
of the Kent section. This section extends the range of Gerithium hos-

Diplopodia streeruvitzii and Plicatula incongrua.

‘Tn my report on the geology of Southwest Texas, which is now await- 
ing publication as a part of the Fifth Annual Report of the Geological 
fSurvey of Texas [not published O'wing to the discontinuance of the Sur- 
vey. — F. W. S.], I have proposed a division .of the Tertiary and later 
deposits of the Coastal Plain somewhat different from that which has 
been used in previous reports. This change was made necessary by the 
new stratigraphic evidence secured in nraking the Nueces section and the 
results of the studies of our collections of fosS'il shells from various locali- 
ties in this area by Prof. Gilbert D. Harris. 
“These divisions, with such correlation as seems to be .warranted by the 
facts, now before us, are: 
Pleistocene 
Neocene 
Eocene. 
f Coast sands, stream deposits, etc.
