CANAL JOINS OCEANS
FOR THE THIRD time
GeOIOgist Discovers That Natural
Waterway Existed Twice.

Biologists have long known that
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans were
once directly connected by water that
extended across the present site OF
Psnama and adjacent areas in Central
America.
The continents were thus separated
during the Eocene and Oligocene
epOchs-not so very long ago. as geol-
ogists reckon time.
At the end of OIigocene time, how
ever. the surface of the earth in the
region about the site OF Panama was
raised by earth movements which
closed the mid-American passage and
established continuous land cOnnec-
ton between North and South Amer
ica-connection which remained un
broken until the skill and indomitable
pertinacity OF United States army en-
gineers cut the bond at Panama.
The separation Of the oceans caused
profound changes in their inhabitants.
who had been able to wander unim-
peded from ocean to ocean but now
found themselves restricted in their
range. Many species. marooned in an
urfayorable environment, soon sue
cumbed in the struggle for existence.
Scarcely Any similar.
Thus in Miocene time 1.-THE next
epoch) the Inhabitants of the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans gradually became
different. and they have now become
so distinct that scarcely a single
species is common to the seas on the
two sides OF the isthmus.
The mid-American land barrier II
generally thought to have remained
intact from Miocene time down to the
present day. but this belief is errO-
neous
T. Maryland Vaughan. a geologist OF
the United States Geological Survey,
Department Of the Interior. on criti-
cally studying the fossil cOrals col
lected on Garlic Creek. in Imperial
county, Cal. discovered that these
coraIs resemble those OF the Atlantic
ocean-that they are closely related
to Pliocene and post-Pliocene forms
that Inhabited the waters about
Florida and the West Indies.
Oceans Again United:
This fact seems to mean that after
the Atlantic had been separated from
the Pacific in Miocene time, the two
oceans were again united in late Milo
Gene or Pliocene time, the inter
oceanic connection permitting the
Atlantic forms to reach points at the
head Of the Gulf Of California, while
conditions not yet understood eN-
cluded the Pacific fauna from that
area The place at which the oceans
were connected is not known. but IL
is supposed 10 have been somewhere
near the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec
Mr.. Naughan's report on corals from
Garlic creek has just been publish
ed by the Geological Survey as Pro-
fessional Paper 9s-T This paper,
which is extremely technical and of
interest chiefly to professional geolo-
gists. will be sent on request made to
the director Of the Geological Survey.
