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,

Boyd - Berry 8) As far as I can judge from my observations made so far, the Cathep rises from the cut 4 mi N of Boyd southward, and about 3/5 mi or 1 mi south of Boyd exposes the strong contorted bed which occurs below the top of the Cut heys about 20 feet. Further south the Cathep dips southward and soon passes the nivea at RR level, for quite a distance, until a point less than 1 mile from Berry is reached. But about 3/5 mi N of Berry the Cathep rises again and the top is at least 20 feet above RR level. 9) At the Tunnel 3/4 mi S of Berry, the same Lyferderma occurs that is seen at cut 1/3 mi N of Berry, at the Tunnel there is a duplex prisme. 10) The contorted layer seen since 1 mile S of Boyd is here well seen about 7 ft above top of tunnel entrance, 11) Found Boyricula, same as near upper fault of hill believed to be Utica, east of rail road culvert 1/2 miles and 3/4 mile south of Boyd, but at Berry it occurs below contorted layer 20 ft, and at 3/4 mi S of Boyd it occurs about 15 ft above contorted layer. 12) Southward the first exposure worth visit ing is 2 mi N of Robinson, so that it is unnecessary to walk the track between Boyd & Robinson. 13) Contorted layer 3 mi S of Robinson only, 14) Between Robinson and Poindexter apparently the lower more massive limestone rises above the contorted layer soon up. 15) Near Poindexter the bedded clays alternating with equal thicknesses of limestone, same as near Boyd, show up. 16) 3/2 mi Poindexter 1/2 mile the contorted layer is seen about 10 feet above RR and the more massive limestone is at top of bluff, about 40 feet above RR. Observations taken from train only since Berry, Ky. 17) 1/2 mi N of Cynthiana rock contains Dalmanella, rather lags and flat, but not blist or brittle. Has same appearance as ark but too much mixed with Cathep age. 18) At Nedge of Cynthiana there is a fine exposure of Lexington quarried, in its Helvetella Lirah's and Rhynchotrema Dalmanella.

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.

South east of Hornsblough about 1/2 miles is the beginning of a long R.R cut made for the new line to Frankford. Just before reaching it there is exposed a very fine grained limestone with vertical when brings, resembling the Birdseye. This is first all the Wythe Birdseye of Linnery. Above this, from the great part of the cut, is limest in which I consider the Cathays. I did not examine it carefully, Near the top I collected what may be a young Orthonyx or Aula. It resembled a Phyllotrema but the beak of the vertical valve was very worn and the fr gomen was well exposed. Above the Cathays, furning the top of the cut was the Utica, estimated at 10 feet ticks. It consisted of thin clay shale interbedded with day. It contained Dalanmilla andite like small on a cecata than num to secta, and Trine- claves. Also intra casts. The hyg grams look like Utica form. The rock is tilted south east or 2 north. The Cathays may be 40 feet thick. Apparently less a short distance East of the cut limited me, rather colors, & size, I used. Do this Utica? Similar trouble in identification because West of Lawrenceburg.

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.

Dabruamella cyclo is less robust shell than multitecta; valves very thin, hence the ventral valve appears nearly flat in most specimens, except near the beak and along the slight marginal ridge, due to pressure flattening. Radiating striae said to be prominent and rather coarse, less fine than those of multitec- tecta, but this is not true of the type in the James collection.

India panna, Spongiose free, globular form, with an even rounded surface. Specimens vary between 6 and 13 mm. in diameter, but in a large proportion of specimens seen the diameter varies but little from 7 or 8 mm. The radiating canals are a little smaller than in the common H. sphaeroidalis, Dunc an., of the Mi'ayara, living, as a rule, not over 0.25 mm. in diameter. H. sigualalis Which, from this form in sponge beds of the Trenton limestone at Dixon, Illinois, is larger and long as its name very indicates, radiating canals of very un equal size. This species (H. parra) has been known to me for nearly ten years as one of the most persistent fossils of the Trenton group in the west ern States. I meet with it first at several localities in central Kentucky and other hand found it) yielding at about the same height in Tennessee Min- nest and Wisc oning though a common fossil kind of gen- eral are rare, Occasional are meet, as t specimens I has n a direct related species in the middle beds of the Cincinnati group. There are a little larger than the Trenton form, the speci cimens averaging about 10 mm. in diameter. This sup- persed variety of it, parra, has been found on the hills about Cincinnati, Ohio, at Culby and McKinney's in central Kentucky; and at Saranah, Ill., formerly I supposed it might be identical with Miller an. Dyer Microporia gregina (Jour. Geol. Soc. N.Y. Hist. vol. 5, p. 37, 1878) but its external structure is clearly the same as that of H.india. Three authors take of their species that its structure is "firm on a minutely porous, and very compact" and that at section reveal "needle-shaped bodies" referred by them to be speci-mes. From this it is evident that unless they are mistaken in their diagnosis as they had a very different specimen than their supposed variety of H. parra was collected from the upper beds of the Cincinnati group near Malden, Ill.

"[illegible] Three have the same internal structure but are immensely small, the diameters of the smallest and largest specimens being respectively 3 and 5 mm." Micropora spong., p 37. This is a small gregarious globular calcareous sponge free and having no spicules. Its structure is firm or minutely firm, and very compact. Weather worn specimens show the firm structure which is well illustrated in the figure, Mincepor sections, given and by Dr. J. G. Grant, reveal what we suppose to be spicules. They are minute needle shaped bodies. This species is sometimes found in clumps, though it is by no means a common fossil. Specimens collected vary in diameter from less than one eight to more than one half an inch, and have been found at Cincinnati, and in the upper part of the Gimp. The specimen above noted is from the collection of C.B. Dyer. Animalides reticulatus, Murry, p 92. The thirty five payments before me were found on a spot about two feet square, and it may be possible that they all belong to one individual, but that seems scarcely probable. They are all hollow and the envelope is composed of an aggregation of sub cylindrical or rather club shaped stems which are placed parallel with each other, and perpendicular to the surface; their inner ends are acutely pointed, while that end which shows on the exterior surface is rounded, and with a minute port on the tip, for the articulation of two very fine and gun all spines. The distribution of these club shaped plates is very regular, being arranged in curved or flexuous transverse, and diagonally intersecting lines; and an account of their cylindrical form, they are a great number of interstices which may be referable to pores analogous to those of the Anteriidea.
Page 58
Two of the specimens are compressed, circular in form; one is two inches in length, and the greatest breadth is three-fourths of an inch; its two edges run parallel near, one-fourth of an inch from where it tapers rapidly to a point. These specimens may represent rays. Another specimen appears to be part of a disk, and judging from its form it seems possible that it was possible that it was supplied with such rays as those described. Two other fragments were observed, in which some small specimens of Bellero-phora vibratus were found within the envelope of the plates. Locality and Position: From the Cincinnati Group at Carthage, Ky., at an elevation of about 275 feet above low water mark in the Ohio River. Found by Mr. H. Dickhant and the author. Lepidolites dickhanti, White, No. 21 All the specimens of this species examined are exceedingly flattened; but their original form undoubtedly was either sub-spherical or sub-pyramid with the lower portion considerably indented. The curved edge of scale-like plates is very thin, being little more than one-hundredth part of an inch in thickness, and appears to have been slightly flexible. The plates are brittle with the exposed margin rounded, and arranged in concentric lines crossing each other in a grain manner; they are much smaller about the indented portion, gradually becoming larger as the discs approach the upper portion. The appearance presented by a specimen that is flattened vertically, is very like that style of ornamental work or watch-cases called "one-barrel turning". In the largest plates observed, the exposed portion has a diameter that is not more than one-thirty-second of an
Page 59
with. Detailed plates have a length that is equal to about thirty times the great- est breadth, and are twice what corner form in outline, the widest end being that one which is exposed in the exterior of the sack. When the exceedingly delicate integument lining the interior of the sack, and to the outside of which the plates are attached is removed, the dinner ends of the plates are expanded; this side of the plates is provided with a slightly defined, longitudinal furrow. Specimens of this species are normally coated with iron, which effectively destroys their minute characters. Fortunately, the authors found some fragments that were entirely free of that trouble and solid and from these the details of its alveolar pattern were obtained. Named during the energetic collecting by Mr. H. E. Dickhaut. Formation and locality: The speci- mens were found in the shales of the lower part of the Hudson River group, at Crompton, N.Y., elevation about one hundred and fifty feet above low-water mark in the river's center. 10-22 Lepradelites elongatus. Believed This species differs from the type of the genus mainly in its different form. The form of L. dickhauti is sub-spherical, while that of the species under consideration is sub- cylindrical, with the ends more or less somewhat termi- nated. The length is generally about equal to about three and a half times the diam- eter in transverse measure- ment. The specimens are crated with iron, and for that reason I was unable to ascertain whether the plates differ from those of the type species. Their arrange- ment is very much the same. This species seems to have attained a larger size than L. dickhauti. The largest specimen found, though defective at both ends, in its flattened condition is nearly two inches in length, by three fourths of an inch in width. Formation, locality and collectors: Same as the last.
