234. From 233 the rock rises into the railroad. At first the whole Eria cynthia an general coarse limestone, one paratively fine fossils appear. Then for a very long distance, the upper night fossil ferns cynthia and full of frygaria are seen in a long stretch. At the highest land, at 234, the hard beds lowest me mixed with clay sand layers is seen, full of frygaro in some of the clay layers 235. Strephocina, just at RR level. 236. Tetracium, Rhynchotremum. Hebdella family for ensis. H mustna. Ovaciscus, = Rock taken three Perryville bed. 237. Iron rock = Oars? 238. Orasphera simplicata 239. Pterophora simplex. 240. Orasphera + Rhynchotremum, 241. Hebdella frankpeterseni 242. Hebdella + Dolomnella 243. Orasphera 244. Hebdella, Rhynchotremum hagniana Lophospira medialis. Vancouveria Hadrinura Salteri. 245. Richly fossiliferous same film in the typical Perryville ht. Fine grained... Same as 236 and 244 Clitambites 3 ft fine spear dolomite. More family for one of the Pergus Gap 246. Fine exposure, not studied. 247. N of Ophelia 4mi NW Pichum and R 2ft thin clay, no fossils. 2 mi thin clay in th boggy area. 1 ft white rock, S half. 2½ ft clay shale, with Galechya in lower 6 in hard rock. Round top. Weathering casts flat of indium. 6 ft 6 in, clay shale with fossils. 4 mi fossiliferous arglshale, massive. 3 mi clay shale 1½ mi S and injured layers, 7 mi clay shale 12 in fine grained fine l. rock, fossils. 3 mi shale 6 mi S and injured layers. 4 mi large fine grained with 1½m shale 6 in hard fine grained rock. 5 ft regular shale bed. Base, 9 internal not measured. Flat pendulum along and out W. along the RR R> Inner Pichum and shale bed. 248. Along the road leading from the pike eastward to the fossil local by 247 the Galechya horizon is well exposed, also the varying rock in red, Clithambites + Streptolana, vagans over south road in the fields, but not seen along the road. This section should be studied and measured.
