2) About 1 mile east of the cut, Last marked, and about 2 1/2 miles from Hardsburg, there is a second cut. West of this cut the fine grained sand with vertical worm burrows is seen again. = When Birdseye of Lima? A similar rock is seen at the cut. 3) About 1/2 mile east from the last cut, the exposure of same rock similar to the one ea. lithologically and the fossils appear similar to those at the main cut 1 1/2 miles E of Har- dsbury, but I found no Trisuckle as a Dalmanella but collected some fossils, immediate above is coarser grained limestone. The absence of Plect and Limestones at all of these cuts is note- worthy. 4) Further east the rock exposed resembles that below the Lathes again. Not carefully exam- ined. Wasm Rly. Cut south of station 20ft clayey section with thin limestone layers, at top is fine grained coarse- grounded, in several layers, small space separated by clay. Dalmanella multirada to creamy rock at top. Collected clay. Plat. Amphipus longipes? Callophora acutiloba 9 1/2 ft clay both soft and chalky varieties, interlaced. Then coarse limestone 2 1/2 ft thick. In this I meet no usual Dalmanella multirada? Cristellaria florida Streptomena wayssoni? Clearis, canum. at Plect in this exposure, 1 mile N of Wasm Rly. Plect nitens about 9 ft below heavy coarse grained clay in the St. Margaret's limestone formation. Coarse grained L. section of 18 ft with rather massive beds, overlaid by the inner bedded layers. Section from RR at Williamstown, down to river side. 27 1/2 ft from RR down to first hard exposure 9 ft rather coarse L. Exposed. 8ft to lowest L. with St. Margaret's 20ft clay shale + clay rock Collected = Goniodus SS. A large another section, 20ft fine type limestone than on place during, some of clay rock into her soft, weathering fine soft clay.
