One mile S of 233, where road Turns West th and Tumeroville, Coming down the hill at the turn of the road, the Black shale is mudded and by Devonian chert in red soil, and then by a sandy clay resembling the Riclum clay. This may be Mayville lime rock, judging from sections NE of there. I assume it to be Mayville. Half a mile west of this last locality, where a road from the south curves in, Plat: Tenderosa occurs in the creek bed. This evidently is May- ville. The overlying part of the section also is presumed to be Mayville. The thin laddled stuff starting in about half way to Turnersville is assumed to be the Tote. layers. It is important to note that the Conryville here does not consist of grey-coloured limestone but of augillaceous lime- stone which lithologically resembles the Riclum clay. This might to have come migrating geographically. Devonian chert is common almost as far as Turnersville. 137. Creek N of them. Black Shale plenty, SE of this locality. Black shale was exposed on hill, over Den. limestone. E to my west and dip here, if not a fault: then the Den lime- stone-chert continues to 133 etc. 138. A cistern backed house exposed argill, cl = Conryville probably, 44ft down is shale rubble with stroph. maysvillenian. Between there should occur the orth Mayv- childa limestone but it was not seen. Exposure not sufficient to determine as yet whether the shale rises sharply since 137 or whither there is a fault here. 139. Below entrance to lime quarry smith is stroph. maysvillenian and some foot of white probably is Fort Hope, and this continues to be exposed westward as far as Hanging Park. 140. Up to this point the stone fences contain stroph. maysvillenian; some exposures seen Directly west of house are good exposures with stroph. maysvillenian, between pike and creek. There exposures continue west to fork of pike. 141. Exposures with stroph. maysvillenian.
