(a) How can in world an isthmus separating 2 marine corals, Faunas, & yet have often we seen in Books 2 fossil faunas which geologists by superposition believe to be of same age, & yet with so many representative species, that at so short a distance our present experience [wd] lead to double distinct, & so an isthmus is [illeg] – I suspect many more formations have to be intercalated. – If known type formation be later times is / in [lower] then it may well happen that many will have to be intercalated.
