700 feet thick [ = Edm, Lmaine and Pick.]
Percetant collection for me made along this broth will probably produce 150 species further fossils. This section is on that all equal to the Richmondian of southwestern Ohio.
The section along Horthmans Brook in a general way is a duplicate of many brook sections of the Cincinnati area and of the lower Richmondian of the Little Miami country, but here there is far more of limestone than in the Benjamin Bay region. The fauna therefore does not remind as much of Ohio as I had expected.
At the southern end of Meaford one gets a good view of the size of the land. It is as follows:
Richmond 550 feet
Benjamin Bay Level
The former lake level & black coal thick sand -175 feet
