maculata? and Platystrophia lynx-moritura. Returning to Richmond, collected in the cut of the new railroad Chicago, Cincinnati and Louis- villle. This cut is high in elevation and very near the Clinton, but none of the letters is in place here but pieces are present in the glacial debris. Here one sees the same fossils as in the Elkhom with the addition of Rynchotrema palomellon. Then far lower fossils are far more abundant but are are crushed and comminuted by the sea. Saw no R. pulamellona here but the hj. Strophomena filifusta and Omithotis antiqua- dicta occurs here. In this lower group also occurs Tetradium, Strepilasma austicum is very rare and much distorted. On the north humol of Kent Creek, just below the private road to the sand pits occur the Rynchonella dentata beds. According to Cummins' section the bed is about 60 feet beneath the Clinton shale. Put up at the Arlington House,
