GUPPY — TERTIARY FOSSILS OF THE WEST INDIES. 153 
Nariva Series. The want of specific determinations of the 
' fossils procured by the Geological Survey renders it difficult 
for me to establish any comparison between the fauna of the 
deposits referred to and those of the Manzanilla and San 
1 Fernando Beds on the one hand. Consequently I cannot 
bo quite sure that I am correct in my classification of tho 
j 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 posfpliocene detrital series, whilst the term 
Older Parian was given to the lower cretaceous strata* 
These latter may retain the local name of Pointe-d-Pierre 
Beds, their geological age being probably neocomian.
