Excerpt from Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, 1919, Vol. 9
In 1899 I enumerated the fossils found at Black Bluff, St. Paul Island, Bering Sea, Alaska. They occur at this place in fragments of sedimentary rock torn from the ocean bed and upheaved with their enclosing lava above the sea level. Mr. G. Dallas Hanna, of the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, who has been stationed on the island for a number of years, reports that the Black Bluff locality is now entirely exhausted of its fossils. However, this loss is more than made up for by the discovery of two new localities, one on St. Paul and one on St. George Island. Curiously enough the locality on each island is locally known as Tolstoi Point, the Russian word Tolstoi meaning "broad" being used geographically in numberless localities in Alaska.
The collection is of interest as linking up the age of the strata from which these fragments were derived with the beach deposits at Nome which are referred to the late Pliocene.
In Mr. Hanna's collection are 47 species of which 44 are mollusks, 31 gastropods and 13 bivalves.
The St. Paul collection has only seven species, all found on both islands and also found at Black Bluff, so they are possibly of the same age as the Black Bluff series.
