The bulk of the fossils and by far the greater number of species come from the Upper Hamilton or the beds above the Encrinal Limestone, and in fact essentially from the Coral zone. Outside of the Crinoids and the Flens- tellidae most of the species jump up, marvel and get many forms and most of the crinoid held a rather restricted range. While the Stringer Hill or locality is still good collecting ground yet it it is not as good as it was 17 years ago when I first saw the place. I was surprised to see an abun- dance of Styliolina in the Upper Hamilton just above the Coral zone. Here it occurs with Chonetes scitulus, Leirhyssches limitaris and Ostracoda. It is probable that most of the Orbatr- crinus come from the Coral zone. Tapon- crinus from D. mucronatus beds while Astroacantha occur in association
