COAL MEASURES FAUNAL STUDIES, II.

These lists are, of course, incomplete for thehorizons in toto, but it is hoped that they do give the characteristicfossils of the rocks of the Kansas river section in sufficientfulness to warrant some deductions of value. The fauna of theLower Coal Measures still remains to be completed.
