the precise nature of the fauna. The collections so made were from the

Parlin Pond, Somerset County. — 1059 C is a section beginning on 
Parlin Stream at the middle dam, where the stream runs for over a

at various horizons in this section, marked C 1-12, and from loose 
bowlders, marked C w r , x, y, and z. 
As this and the next section contain a typical representation of the 
fauna, the detail of the rock sections is herewith given:
