The occurrence of the “Secondary formation,” consisting of a blue
Sandstone containing Exogyra costata, Belemnites, Plagiostoma palagicum,
Anomia ephippium, ete., on the northeast banks of the Cape Fear River
[doubtless meaning the Northeast Cape Fear River], in the neighborhood ag
of South Washington [now Watha], is described. He thinks the oc- sii
currence of this rock between the Tertiary deposits to the east and
indicates a low anticlinal axis running north and south.

~The shell marls at Murfreesboro, near Williamston, at the Natural
Well in Duplin County, and at Wilmington, all of which are referred to
the “Medial Tertiary,” are described. A limestone is described from the
western part of Jones County at the heads of Trent and New rivers,
which contains 87% CaCo,. This is referred to the “Secondary (Cre-
taceous) formation,” but is undoubtedly Eocene. The Hocene at Wilming-
ton seems also to have been confused with the Cretaceous.

A list of 84 species of “Medial Tertiary” (Miocene) fossils is given
from the Natural Well and 52 from Wilmington. In the appendix 32
new species of fossils are described from the Natural Well and 18 are —

figured. Brief descriptions of Angola Bay and Holly Shelter Swamp, in
Pender and Duplin counties, are given.
