Immediately S of tractenville, 300 yds south of Hanging Park, is Strophomena megastellensis common only about 20-30 feet above creek level. About 2 miles south of tractenville, in Liberty and St. Stephen's Bay Stromella is common near tractville; About 1 mile before reaching Ridds tall, a short distance beyond Joe Snort's store, Petrrophylla and Lyrce occur on the lower hillsides but Stromennae megastellensis is found at creek level. Along Frye's creek, 100 yds N of Ridds tale, the Devonian rests upon the edges of Ordovician strata, no layer in which it rests out comes Brachyphora dorsi-folli rather common but my other forms have been seen. Along its immediate east of Ridd's table a splint of Lyrce was found a very short distance beneath the Devonian. The first layer at the face of the Devonian is 8 inches thick. East of Humphrey Bross farm mills, 6 m NE of Liberty, the other shale rests on a great thickness of limestone clayrock mills. In a steep gully N of tract West Glen of John Binnis, 3 mi NE of Liberty Middle base Cuyahoga 38 ft. Olor shale. (S something?)
