"Above this the [?]am is covered with
pierce a gelicious shale in which I
found Leptrocoelia Satellite, Amphibia
nucleata, Crystina petralia etc. These
forms since their origin here were
Giollamy. There are Ashburne's
Levostatum lime shale as Orphanian.
Since I have studied the Cumber
land section I have surmised that,
in the region of Pa. and Ind., either
the top of the Hildubryan was not
deposited or it was eroded away, in
Perry Co Claypole notes little Helthous
shale, and here there appears to be none.
In Perry Co. the entire Orphanian seems
to be reduced to 25 feet. Under these
circumstances there seems to be a land
interval between the Hildubryan and
Orphanian always cutting out a small
portion of the former and probably also
much of the lower parts of the latter.
The results hereabouts give the following
strata table:
