Lowest bed. 1 A series of thin bedded limestones with some shale. Has an abundance of Meristella and Tentaculites in my hands. Passing up- ward into more massive beds, thick Hybzae of the Trentaforn kind here. Also large Fis- theliprinitis. These upper beds become more and more arenaceous and finally become a 2 Calcarenous Bandstone with some fossils. Carathing out the fossils in a siliceous state. Macerflures gone. 3 Passing into arenaceous limestones with a chert. No macerflures here but much Rim. selacrina equiquadrata as the most charact- eristic fossils. About 85 feet seen, Nearly all the fossils in the upper half. From last outcrop to Oranella, across a small stream and is a distance of 300 feet. The dip of the rocks is about this I saw no evidence in the farm fields at the foot.
