Eollowing a brief general discussion of the Fayette and beds above it, a 
detailed description is given of the Reynosa-Orange 'Sand, Lapara- 
Lagarto (Beds. Oakville Beds and Frio iClays as they occur along the 
line of the International and Great Northern Railroad from Houston to 
Palestine. The paper concludes with a correlation of the beds of the 
Pleistocene and Neocene, as above given, with those of the Galveston Deep 
Well.

“The purpose of this paper is to give a brief account of the Oenozoic 
deposits of 'Texas as they are now understood, and to make such correlation 
of the various horizons as may appear to be warranted by the stratigraph- 
ical position and fossil contents.” P. 549.

An 9 ,ceount of a trip northward from Carrizo Springs through Dimmit 
and Zavala counties. The contrast between the 'valleys of the Nueces and 
the Leona due to irrigation in the latter. The region considered: “That 
portion of (Southwest Texas west of the 98th meridian and south of paral- 
lel 30; and the Tnans-Pecos region. 
“The more eastern of these two regions may be most concisely described 
as consisting of plains and valleys in plains. One of the greater of these 
plains occupies the larger part of the area north of the Southern Pacific 
Railway. On some of the older maps it is represented as stretching west- 
ward to, and forming part of, the Guadaloupe mountains, and is called by 
that name- it is a great plateau with a comparatively level surface, 
which is deeply scored by canons towards its southern border. Along 
this border, in many places, it rises abruptly 100 feet or more above the 
valley at its base. Its elevation labove the sea level is somewhat over 2000 
feet. 
“The other principal plain of the area is that of the coastal slope. This 
rises gradually from the gulf shore until in the western portion of the
