Immediately above these beds appear 11 feet, 3 inches of chert 

 beds, followed by 18 feet, 7 inches of a fine quartz pebble conglom- 

 erate (=29 feet, 10 inches). Then comes in a silicious and quite fossil- 

 iferous limestone 5 feet, 6 inches in thickness (no. 29 of the section) 

 and over it about 3(3 feet of chert bands containing a few fossils. 

 The entire thickness of the deposits from the top of the Kingston 

 beds to the base of the Esopus shale is about 60 feet. 



The fauna of this part of the section is essentially contained in 

 the calcareous layer, and is the following: 



Dalmanitts cf. stemmatus Camarotoechia barrandii 



Phacops logani Eatonia peculiaris 



Proetus conradi Meristella lcntiformis 



Tentaculites elongatus Spirifer murchisoni 



Diaphorostoma ventricosum Leptocoelia flabellites 



D. desmatum Chonetes hudsonica 



Cyrtolites sp. ? Cbonostropbia complanata 



Platyceras tortuosum Leptostrophia oriskaijia 



Cryptonella fausta Edriocrinus sacculus 



Megalauteris ovalis Cladopora smicra 

 Camarotoechia pliopleura 



All of these species with the exception of Edriocrinus sac- 

 cuius are observed in the Becraft mountain Oriskany fauna. No 

 species occur in the chert bands which are not represented here. 



At Ghmerie, 7 miles north of Kingston, the same calcareous beds 

 of the Oriskany are finely fossiliferous, probably affording a more 

 complete representation of this fauna. The following are among the 

 species identified : 



Dalmanites cf. stemmatus Meristella lentiformis 



Phacops logani Spirifer arenosus 



Tentaculites elongatus S. murchisoni 



Diaphorostoma ventricosum Trematospira up. n. 



D. desmatum Anoplia micleata 



Cyrtolites sp. n. Leptaena rbomboidalis, var. ventricosa 



Platyceras gebliardi Leptostrophia niagintica 



P. reflexum L. oriskania
