1) West of Tyrone is Lexington with Helotella Lrenalis & Blagnedictoma.
2) Typ of Lexington east of culvert W 65.5. Base of Cathays west of W 65.5 culvert. Well exposed well bedded clay + clay silt intercalated as in Cincinnati strata. Near Lgee is cut into large, step breaking like huge refractory boulders with the bedding above and below undisturbed. Rafinesziana pty fossil seen. No hygrans found. Fossils fine very scarce but no long search was made. Large drillery at W end of cut.
3) W of W 65 feet, the Lexington-Cathays cut is in red shuns. Typ of Lexingtn with Helotella Lrenalis + small Platystrylora. The Cathays is well bedded clay + clay silt, nearly unform layers except at very base. Post reads 1 mile from station = Tyrone.
4) About 25 feet above basey Cathays the clay silt is replaced by limestone section some of it crossbedded with no clay between, + then fine resem bling the Lexingt in a little further part strongly cut into in places. Well exposed E of bridge 64.4.
5) In the lay railroad cut W of bridge 64.4 this Cathays limestone is well exposed and contain a few hygr-grans, very scarce. Post at West end of cut reads 1 mis', from station = Lawrence by.
6) In the long cut East of Y and limits of the Cathays limit are continue to be well exposed. It resembles the Lexington but does not show the Lexingt for fossils which are or come in lower down. No exposure between this and Law-rencelyby.
7) W of Lawrence by is post 63 W.
8) At West end of Lawrence by, where the fork to Altus crosses the RR, Triana Lrenas, Plctrambrites, and Utica hygranas occur. This is the first Utica exposure seen. Dalmanella multisepta.
9) West 1 a post 1 mis', W of Lawrence by thirty of the Cathays limestone is exposed again. This is down grade here.
10) The same limestone occurs east of bridge 61.7 W. = Cathays.
11) E of bridge 61.0 = 2 mi. W of Lawrence-by. = Cathays? Some of the layers are contorted.
