minous shales, where we saw them, were nearly non-fossilifer- 

 ous. The fossils mentioned below were taken from the railroad 

 cut just east of the Frisco depot and at McCune : 



Orbiculoidea misgouriensis (Shumard)*, common at both localities. 

 Fish tooth ? at Fort Scott. 



Girty refers the following (all of which, except Spirifer cam- 

 eratus Morton, are included in our list from the upper lime- 

 stone) to this horizon : 



Axophyllum rude. Marginifera muricata. 



Rhipidomella pecosi. Spirifer cameratus. 



Chonetes mesolobus. Spiriferina kentuckiensis. 



Chonetes flemmingi. Cleiothyris orbiculatus. 



Doctor Bennett gives the following : 



Chonetes mesoloba. Goniatites sp. 



Spirifer planoconvexus. Petrodus occidentalis, 



Bellerophon percarinatus. Scales and dermal plates of fish. 



Pleurotomaria broadheadi. Spines of fish. 

 Pleurotomaria sphterulata. 



Most of these are also included in our list from the limestone 

 which follows. 



Upper Fort Scott Limestone. — A limestone from ten to fourteen 

 feet thick, weathering gray or buff. It is usually rather thinly 

 bedded, and in the upper part unevenly so. It is quite rich in 

 fossils. 



Localities at which collections were made : (a) Cement works 

 across the Marmaton river, and at the Minden branch Missouri 

 Pacific railroad crossing in the west part of Fort Scott. (6) 

 Just east of Santa Fe station at Girard. (c) In the road in a 

 ravine two and one-half miles east of Girard. (d) McCune, in 

 the edge of town just west of the creamery, railroad cut just 

 east of the station, and two and one-half miles west of town on
