Int. Cong. Gool., Compte Rendu, 5th session, p. 197 (5 p.). 
Considers that fossil remains are not proof of the nonexistence of 
glaciers in the vicinity in which the fossils occur.

Pacific Coast. 
U. S. Geol. Surv., 14th Ann. Rept., pt. 2, pp. 397-434, pis. xl-xlvii, figs. 
45-48; Jour, of Geol., vol. ii, pp. 32-54. 
Abstract: Am. Geol., vol. xiii, p. 354 (£ p.). 
Describes the topography of the Pacific Coast, the ancient baselevel 
of erosion in northern California, and the character of the deposits upon 
its borders. Discusses the evidence as to the age of the baseleveling, 
the conditions during Cretaceous, Eocene, and Miocene times, and the 
deformation of the baselevel. 
154 and Schuchert (Charles). Discovery of Devonian rocks in 
California. 
Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xlvii, pp. 416-422. 
Abstract: Am. Nat., vol. xxviii, p. 796 (£ p.). 
Describes the different outcrops of Devonian rocks that have been 
found in California, with notes on the fossils collected from them, and 
discusses their correlation with Devonian strata of other regions. 
155 and Stanton (T. W.). The Shasta-Chico series. 
Geol. Soc. Am., Bull., vol. v, pp. 435-464. 
Abstracts: Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xlvii, p. 141 (i p.); Am. 
Geol., vol. xiii, p. 208 (6 1.) ; Am. Nat., vol. xxviii, p. 1024 (f p.). 
Reviews the literature of the Cretaceous deposits of the Pacific 
Coast. Describes three sections of the Cretaceous deposits and gives 
lists of fossils found at different horizons. Discusses the faunal rela- 
tions of the beds, the deformation during and subsequent to their 
deposition, and the correlation of the series with the Cretaceous of 
other parts of North America. 
150 Dodge (R. E.). The geographical development of alluvial river 
terraces. 
Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., Proc, vol. xxvi, pp. 257-273. 
Abstract: Am. Geol., vol. xiv, p. 397 (^ p.). 
Describes the formation of alluvial terraces and plains, the cycle and 
development of a normal river, and normal, subnormal, and accidental 
alluvial terraces. Discusses the conditions of terrace formation and 
gives the author's conclusions. 
157 Additional species of Pleistocene fossils from Winthrop, Mass. 
Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. xlvii, pp. 100-104. 
Mentions the species heretofore found in a drumlin in Boston Harbor, 
and also others recently found by the author. Considers that ocean 
waters were warmer both prior and subsequent to the advance of the 
ice sheet, and discusses the causes of this phenomenon. 
158 Continental phenomena illustrated by ripple marks. 
Science, vol. xxiii, pp. 38-39. 
Describes ripple marks occurring on the coast of Massachusetts, 
which are compared to the formation of a continental shelf similar to 
that along the eastern eoast of North America.
