212 The American Geologist. October, i897 
The fossils described are from WilmingtoD. The author states that 
among the chnracteristic Eocene fossils several equally characteristic 
Cretaceous forms are found, but he regards the commingling as having 
occurred while all the forms in question were living.

Prof. Tuomey intended to publish some twenty plates of the fossils of 
South Carolina, in his final report of 1848, which was nearly two years 
in passing through the press, and ommitted from the final i-eport. The 
disappointment of geologists, occasioned by this ommission, was the 
common topic of conversation at the meeting of the American Associa- 
tion at Charleston, in May, 1850, and at the solicitation of a number of 
the members the authors of the Pleiocene fossils of South Carolina pub- 
lished this work at their own risk and cost.
