Excerpt: ... IV. TERTIARY MOLLUSKS FROM THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND CUBA. By Charles Wythe Cooke. With sixteen plates. TERTIARY MOLLUSKS FROM THE LEEWARD ISLANDS AND CUBA. Br Charles Wythe Cooke. INTRODUCTION. The object of this paper is to describe some little-known Cenozoic Mollusca from the West Indies and to determine their stratigraphic positions with respect to the standard section of the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain of North America. The great bulk of the material upon which this work is based was collected by Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, in the islands of St. Bartholomew, Antigua, Anguilla, and Cuba, but several additional smaller collections made by various workers at scattered localities have also been studied. All of the fossils studied, except a small collection from Guajay, Cuba, are in the United States National Museum. The exceptions are in the American Museum of Natural History. The writer wishes to express his appreciation of the many courtesies extended to him throughout the course of the work by Doctor Vaughan, to whom he is also indebted for assistance in the final preparation of the manuscript. He wishes to thank Dr. W. H. Dall and Miss Julia A. Gardner for aid in the identification of doubtful species. He is indebted to the authorities of the United States National Museum for the use of the facilities of that institution and to the Director of the United States Geological Survey for permission to carry on this investigation as part of his official duties. FAUNAL SUMMARY. The species of mollusks and brachiopods described, with the stations at which they were found, are enumerated in the following lists: List Op Stations In St. Bartholomew. T. W. Vaughan, Collector. 6895. Spur on southeast side of bay northwest of St. Jean Bay, 170 feet above sea-level (...
