Boyd 1) Trunculus, Dalmanella multisecta. in thin clayey limestone slab, found at R R level, also a strychnous interior of flat shell believed to a crushed Raphinesquina. Plectambites occurs also, 81 ft from R R level to top of exposure while next layers, (in fact nearly all) were collected. Dalmanella crummi is true lime stone about 20 ft above R R. Exact length at which it comes in is not known. 2) Stryaena gillbosa & Dal. emaculate begin a short distance above the crass limestone in the stop cut 4 mi. N of station, 11 ft above top of crass limestone believed to be Catleys. This part of section, 3) The total thickness of Catleys appears to be about 25 ft. Above this is 2ft clayey stuff with clay shale & a little thin limestone; total about 20 ft thick. In this section appears D olus and a multisecta. Stryaena gillbosa. The Truncule- nus and Raphinesquina declining appears to signify here also. Above this is coarse grained limestone with Dalmanella multisecta & Plectambites for 36 feet at least. This part of section does not resemble that of Catleys but Whica free cast of Saint Pleasant, Boyd- Berry, 4) Bridge over men at Boyd, leading to Colemanville & Corinth, in the Catleys Cyclomema varices sum is rather charming. 5) Catleys passes up well south of Boyd, where it has been exter- narily quarried. 6) 1 mi. S of Boyd, up road running beneath R R, is strongly curved twisted limestone like that at Carthage. Above this is fine grained thin bedded clay, criss crossing clay and this side contains trypillemus' gaster pisdo as does the side at Car Carthage. Section looks quite different from that at Boyd. Dalmanella farther up the hill side. Several excellent lamellae- branch slabs of cut vitated limestone series. The cut vitated limestone delays below the more regularly bedded limestone of Catleys as exposed N of Boyd, 7) Farther south clay works with Dalmanella & Plectam- bites is at R R level for long distance. D'atiles crummi. Itchabella resembling breakers of olus join section found area near,
