"[illegible]", small Productus, a small Leminula, [illegible], Orites, Expaedogyrinus, Rhont-Jonas, Gastrodactya, and Lepidodicta. Probably 20 species could be gotten Together. I see no break here between the Drapanoceras and the Blue and Hackle Carey shales beneath. Nor is there a break above the Drapanoceras. The Pennsylvania lucernites is said to be at least 18,000 feet thick. The following is from Mr. Goldstrom's notes, In the north Cardome basin in Township 3 S, R 1 W and R 1 E the Drapanoceras li is 40' thick. Beneath that is at least 600 feet Carey and Penns. The upper 750 ft are the Blue shales like those seen today. The rest appear to be Hackle shales, and I said once goes Am 6 to 120 feet thick. As I now have copies of these sections the details should be coming into T. 4 S., R. 1 E the Drapanoceras consists of two li's, the upper one 6' and the lower 16' separated by 30 feet of shale. Then Blue shales as before followed below by Hackle shales. Together the seen thickness is not 400 feet, with sometimes of 240', 12', 80', 270, and 440 feet. In T 4 S., R. 2 E the Drapanoceras li divisions are as follows: Li' 18', shale 200, li. 15', sh. 240, li. 20 sh 260, li. 30, sh. 100, li 18. Then helms are at least 3700 feet of Carey.
