Abstract
ON p. 384, vol. xxx. of NATURE, Prof. Hull published an account, furnished him by myself, of the shell deposit in the marl of the Lattakia plain. Since that time I have submitted these specimens to Mr. Etheridge, F.R.S., of the British Museum, who has kindly furnished me with their specific names, as far as they are determinable. The subjoined list fixes the geological date or succession of the deposit, which belongs to, or is of the same age or period as, the Pliocene or Crag deposits of Essex, Norfolk, and Suffolk. The fossils from the raised beaches may be of post-Pliocene.
