3f. Blue crystalline limestone-many fossils,shaly partings, crinkly and discontinuous. 7 ft. 4 in. 3g. Thick bedded, calcareous shale, bluish where fresh 7 ft. 3 in. buff to yellow on weathered faces. Beds 3d-3g are probably equivalent to the Salina waterline or Lower Cement bed of the Rosendale district. 4. Cobbleskill limestone. 10 ft. 4a. Irregularly bedded, bluish limestone, containing 6 ft. large numbers of fossils particularly corals- generally debris covered. 4b. Blue, fossiliferous crystalline limestone in beds 4 ft. 6 to 10 inches thick, many ostracodes-genus Beyrichia. Beds 4a and 4b equal the "Middle bed", between the Lower and Middle Cement at Rosendale, New York. 5. Rondout limestone. 39 ft. 5a. Earthy shale with bands of limestone- Leperditia abundant. 3 ft.9 in. 5b. Fine grained, dark slate-colored limestone-Many ostracods 6 ft.4 in. 5c. Shale 1 ft.6 in. 5d. Hard, fine grained, bluish-gray, brittle limestone- 2 ft.3 in. Many ostracods and stromatopora 5e. Calcareous shale. 6 ft.3 in. 5f. Pale blue or gray limestone, weathering yellow. 5 ft.0 in. 5g. Fissile, calcareous shale 15 ft.0 in. 6. Manlius limestone 34 ft.8 in. 6a, b, c, d, e, f.- Hard, bluish-black limestones, the basal bed being made up largely of large, Stromatopora heads. The ostracode fauna of the Rondout continues, but marine forms appear a little above the base. 7. Coeymans limestone. 7a. Coarse grained, crystalline gray limestone, many 10 ft.3 in. Favosite Corals in masses. 7b. Not exposed. 30 ft. -2-
