"Division F" about the Light House and east to the Jumper's lies in an un- dulating, domed manner. It is only as one approaches the Jumpers that the gne F rises bringing to the surface the top beds of Gne E. The undulations are sometimes quite sharp but never of long duration. In general the undulations do not exceed 10 foot depth. I saw several Eucalyptorellinus but all were torn to bits away. But an entire Gacastes (Phocids?) and a Calymene. Brachiopods are the prevailing fossils. On all the layers J. hemisphericum occurs. The next common fossil is the Lependitia. Bryozoa are rare and almost no Trepistomata. Another peculiarity is scarcity of corals and ccephalopods. Could this Clinton have come into the U.S. by way of the Great Lakes from the north? At the Jumpers there is a shale layer like the one at Ludlow Kentucky in the Trenton.
