Cherry Run to North Mountain.
At Long Run one mile west of Cherry Run may be seen the complete Heldebyrian section. Just on the east side of Long Run about 20 feet over of where the hill begins to rise above the track level may be seen the Marcellus with an abundance of Stylingia (at the top)
resting on the Kingston. Thus as at North Butt, the upper beds are a little more calcareous and hold fossils of which we have a tail of Dalmanites, Phacops, Apectia [illegible] and a few other things (see fossils). Little or no evidence of the thickness of the whole cap is seen.
On the Long Run there is a thin conglomerate and smalling, the base of the Kingston shale.
Page 18th thick (laren pieces) resting directly on the Beech Creek limestone. As one gets up the slope of Long Run one comes in the neighborhood at once [illegible] and as the upper beds have an abundance of fossils among which are Rhipidomella (large ones requiring D. maculifera), Cassimilis, Orthotheca mordeniana, Spirifer ectopterus (in this right it is the Beech Creek forms) and other min de-termined species. This zone is about 30 feet thick. These limestone are heavily bedded with almost no shell parting and in places with chert (towards top).
These rest directly on other somewhat thinner bedded limestone with much chert. These are the Maclellan beds in the New Scotland. These and
