205 A mile west of Ellis's store, (1257) and 2 1/4 miles west of the Casey - Lincoln county line the junction between the De- vrinian and the Lower Silurian is at 1251 parta- ly. The Black shale- Coniferous junction is believed to be at 1257. The Coniferous is a dark blam rock. On Hustonville, Rush Branch road, 206 About 1/3 mi. east of Ellis's store, or 1 1/8 mi. west of the Casey - Lincoln county line, on Hustonville- Rush Branch road, the junction between the Con- iferous and the Mad. Lower Silurian is at 1244. The Coniferous is 6 ft thick, and contains an abun- dance of chert. The Mad. n rock is immediately below. The Black slate is seen over the Coniferous, Casey County. Hustonville - to Liberty, Sel-min = 1000. 211. C. H. Riddo store, 5 miles south west of Hustonville, and 10 miles NE of Liberty, on the Carpenters Branch road, Fry's Creek passes the store, flowing southward, or south east ward. I forgot to take the level here. Underlying the Coniferous is the black con rock with scarce a fossil. After diligent search, Chaetetes peterphi- tomua was found, 1 inch from the top. Strophodonta demissiplerica occurred within 5 inches of the base of the Conif. eros. On the west side of Fry's creek, just above the strong conformity, Desmocadia mulbdata occurs abundantly at various levels, 13 ft 8 in 22 ft especially. Spirifer lenticularis occurs 8 feet above the base of the Coniferous. Strophodonta demissa is found 13 ft 8 in. above the base, at the same level as found Plegymnella Setosa, Atrypa
