The material is generally in poor shape and unprepared but the following identifications were possible from a very brief examination:

The material from other localities submitted by Miller did not appear, in brief examination, to be identifiable. Should you find that the molluscan fauna of localities 54-Sn-65A and 54-Sn-217 is not consistent with the a middle to late Miocene age, I would appreciate knowing the details.
