of these identical species, and it is quite likely that some of the
species credited to South Amboy, on the authority of Prof. Newberry,
may really have come from within the Magothy formation,
since the Morgan locality, which is of Magothy age, would
not have been kept distinct from South A_nboy as a place name
in Prof Newberry's" day. The following table of distribution
gives in detail the geological and geographical distribution of
all the species known to occur in the Raritan formation at the
present time. The species found recorded, from "near Keyport,"
in Prof. Newberry's report, are all excluded, as this outcrop is
now known to be of I_lagothy age, while the Tiliaephylhu_ recorded
from Fish House is now known to be Pleistocene. As
previously mentioned, no account is taken of the determinations
of Lesquereux, published in the Clay Report of J878, since the
material was so unreliable and embraced a number of forms
which would be most
unlikely to occur in these beds.
