"Are no fossils in the batydom shale
travagated shale,? Magaya li.? hing
Eura shale. Towards the centre of the
Clinton upper red shale I found a
few poorly preserved Leperditia's.
In the dipping portion of the Clinton
upper lime shale there are numerous
thin limestone beds many of which
are crowded soft fossils but few
species. All the material I have is
from these beds. Towards the middle
of this seam I saw Orthis hybrida,
Orthodonta griffardi (say), Cystea
culicularis, Spirifer nigroauris, and
S. sulcata or crispa. Probably of Mia-
gara age.
After seeing about a half hour
in a quarry to the N.E. of Lexington
in the Leiperston limestone, the
most striking fossil is Leperditia
rather large from that thin limestone
in the Chalkland. I saw some Crura
Chromias anales abundant.
