Warren, dated West Point, Dec. 19, 1860 : Nathaniel Holmes, A.M., Cor. Sec. Acad. Science St. Louis. Dear 8ir : In looking carefully over the table given by Dr. Engelmann, p. 666, Vol. I., No. 4, calculated from NicolleCs data, I see one rather important error, and that is in taking the low water elevation of the Mis- sissippi at New Orleans at 10 feet above the Gulf. This is the level of the pavement in front of the Cathedral. A note in Mr. NicollePs table, taken from Albert Stein, gives this low water elevation 510ths of a foot, and consequently a slope of only about 5-lOOOlhs of a foot thence to the mouth; and not 9-lOlhs, as in Dr. Engelmann’s table. This very slight fall in so long a distance could scai cely be credited were it not a well established fact. Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t, G. K. Warren, Lieut. Top. Eng’rs.

The bones have been usually found in excavations for wells, at depths varyinpj from twenty to sixty feet below the surface, and consist of genera closely allied to, or identical with Titanotherium, Rhinoceros, Equus, and Crocodilus. Among the plants are several species of palms, a fine collec- tion of which has been made by Dr. Gideon Lincecum, of Long Point, Washington Co., and by him presented to the State cabinet. The Miocene beds are surmounted at some localities, as at Hidalgo Falls, with a pebbly deposit cemented with ferruginous matter into a coarse pudding-stone or conglomerate. This deposit has yielded in more or less abundance the bones of Mastodon, Elephas, Megalonyx, Equus (jE. fossilis), Crocodilus, and Testudo. The collections of the Texas Survey are rapidly increasing in all the departments. The series of Cretaceous and Tertiary fossils are already very extensive, and when properly studied will throw much light on some disputed points in the Geology of Texas and New Mexico.
