congesta) occurs in the Nashua marl, its presence has been reported 
from the Croatan beds of Nbrth Carolina. 
The close relationship of the fauna of the Nashua marl at its type 
locality to that of the Waccamaw is indicated on the correlation sheet. 
When 28 of the better preserved forms from the Nashua marl are- com¬ 
pared with other faunas, about 75 per cent occur in the Caloosahatchee, 
and 57 per cent are represented in the Recent fauna. None are found to 
be exclusively Miocene and five appear to be confined to the Pliocene. 
The following three appear to be diagnostic Pliocene species ,—Area 
limula var. platyura Dali, Area scalarina Heilprin, and Phacoides 
waccamawensis Dali. The conclusion deduced from the foregoing 
facts places the Nashua marl at its type locality in the Pliocene, appar¬ 
ently the basal Pliocene, and stratigraphically equivalent to the beds 
referred to the Waccamaw marl in the Carolinas. 
It is believed by the writer, relying upon data at hand, that no 
faunas considered in this paper, excepting those in deep wells at or near 
Kissimmee, are older than the Pliocene, and if the Miocene is present 
in this area, it is found only in well borings. This belief is founded not 
only upon the facies of the fauna, but upon the absence of diagnostic 
Miocene species such as occur in known upper Miocene deposits of the 
southeastern United States. The following five will be cited followed 
by these indices of their occurrence: 
A. Alum Bluff, Fla.—upper bed. 
C. Coe’s Mill, Fla. 
D. Natural Well, or Duplin of N. C. 
M. Duplin at Mayesville, S. C. 
J. Jackson Bluff, Fla. 
T. Tallahassee, Fla. (16 mi. S'. W.) 
Area scalaris Conrad, A. C. D. M. 
Phacoides tuomeyi Dali, C. D. M. J. T. (Reported in the Pliocene at Walker’s 
Bluff and Neill’s Eddy Landing, N. C.) 
Dentalium attenuatum Say, A. D. J. M. 
Ecphora quadricostata Say, A. D. M. 
Turritella variabilis Conrad, A. J. M. T. 
Of these species, none are found with certainty among the fauna 
referred to the Nashua marl.
