He considered all above number twelve of this section as Permian 

 which would make the base of the Permian about the horizon of the Em- 

 poria limestone of the recent geologists. 



"Mr. George 1. Adams has also described in a somewhat general way 

 the section along the line of railway through :\ro]ine, Urenola, Cambridge, 

 and Winfield."!! 



In 1896 Prof. Prosser hastily examined this section. He determined 

 number 27 of this section to be the lower part of the Strong limestone. 

 The Strong or Wreford is now supposed to be the base of the Permian. 



In the field season of 1004 Prof. Beede made a detailed section at 

 Grand Summit as follows :S
