556 shaw: NEW AREA of carboniferous 



outcrops of such beds in Illinois and also some distance west of 

 the previously known outcrops of such strata in Kentucky. In 

 the Paleozoic limestone beds outcropping around the area of 

 coal five collections of fossils were made and submitted to Dr. 

 George H. Girty for identification. He reports as follows: 



The five collections whose species are listed below contain essentially 

 the same faunas and are without doubt of Chester age. They remind 

 me strongly of some of my collections from the Clore limestone and, 

 taking into consideration all the evidence that you have, I believe 

 that they are in fact really Clore. Our knowledge of the faunas of 

 the different subdivisions of the Chestergroup is not, however, sufficient 

 to justify a positive statement.
