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
