	Portions or all of collections 58ALy36, 204, 221, 136b, 290, 330, and 494 are being retained for the P&S reference collections. These collections will be deposited at the Menlo Park laboratory and will be assigned USGS locality number in Menlo Park.

The faunal lists of the material for the various collections covered by this report are as follows:
Report by:	Norman J. Silberling
Referred by:	R. A. Loney

Comment:	A general assignment of lower Mesozoic is also suggested for collections 58ALy290 and 494 which contain poorly preserved corals that appear to be scleractinians.
