In 1916 on the east side of near an abandoned joint mine we saw many Traptosmeta, Feretlides, Amites (left there) Stephendata new arata Dolmanella and Rhizidomella. The horizon appears to be New Darts and shales. Also Steptelasma strotellum. Ordinary on the Heldenbergian is reduced to a residual clay mostly for yellowish clay though there is a or long line with many Dartland brines, in some red and iron marms. On the other side of mine there In the glau sand quarry just before coming to Brymans ville, they got in a well digging the Marcellus Black shale. This found that the Ordovay is overturned upon the Marcellus. The Hamilton is of the regularity charac- ter but decidedly cleared, and is I considerate thickness. Then comes in some sandy green shales and sandstones and sandstone shales and finally brick and shales of the upper Dermian. These and beds are referred to the Catskill. The sandstone to the Chemung. Later I see that the Hamilton is not as thick as I supposed, for the brin fur mesostrialis fauna is here that it told also true of Hamilton age. The great thickness of the Upper Dermian means mountain making in Appalachia at this time. This then agrees with the phenomena in the Saftic region.
