Four and one-half miles northwest of Wooster, the above section 

 was obtained in a quarry No fossils which could with certainty be re- 

 ferred to the strata farther south, were found here, but it is hardly jjos- 

 sible ^hat the conglomerate exposed can be conglomerate I, as the strat- 

 um below it is a solid freestone, containing Chonetes, while that be- 

 low conglomerate I is usually a shale and no specimens belonging to 

 the genus just referred to have ever been found immediately under 

 conglomerate I. We should hardly expect conglomerate II to be so 

 much thicker here than at Wooster ; it must therefore be a local de- 

 velopment, as it thins entirely out farther north. A few plants were 

 found in it which is a new feature. The strata underlying the con- 

 glomerate show premonitory symptoms of the decline farther north

In this section which is exposed in Funk's Hollow, five miles north- 

 west of Wooster, conglomerate II is not represented, the toj) of divis- 

 ion II having been removed by erosion; in II i Syringot/n'n's curteri, 

 Saiigiiinolites aeolus ?, and Phaethonidcs occidcntalis were found. These 

 in Licking County are confined to division two. Conglomerate I is 

 underlaid by thirty feet of blue shale which is entirely unlike its equiv- 

 alent farther south. The nodule layer is not exposed.

This section is revealed on the east and west l)anks of the Kill 

 buck, eleven miles north of Wooster. The sixty feet of strata form- 

 ing the top of the section, consist of alterating shales and beds of 

 white sandstone, which are quarried in i)laces. No fossils were found 

 in this part of the section. Underlying this is about fifteen feet of 

 sandstone and differs lithologically from its ecpiivalent at Wooster. It 

 contains poorly preserved casts of Rynihomllac. The i)<)siti<)n of
