Syntrialasma limestone, Bennett. (Univ. Geol. Sur. Kansas, Vol. I, p. 

 Ill, 1896.) The lower limestone of the Stanton (Plattsburg) formation was 

 thus designated. 



Tecumseh shales, Beede. (Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., Vol. XV, p. 28, 

 1898.) In Shawnee county, Kansas, applied to middle part of the Platte 

 shales. 



Thayer shales, Broadhead. (Trans. St. Louis Acad. Sci., Vol. IV, p. 

 481, 1884.) The " Shales of Thayer " was a title used in referring to a well- 

 described section at Thayer, Kansas. 



Thayer shales, Haworth. (Kansas Univ. Quart., Vol. Ill, p. 276, 1895.) 

 A term given to the shale member of the Missourian series immediately 

 overlying the Bethany limestone, and extending to the lola. 



Toronto limestone, Haworth and Kirk. (Kansas Univ. Quart., Vol. II, 

 p. 117, 1894.) In southeastern Kansas, applied apparently to the Stanton 

 (Plattsburg). 



Topeka limestone, Haworth. (Kansas Univ. Quart., Vol. Ill, p. 278, 

 1895.) In this place merely mentioned as "Limestone near Topeka." 

 Defined afterwards. Forbes limestone of the Missouri river section is the 

 probable equivalent. 



Triple limestone, Haworth and Kirk. (Kansas Univ. Quart., Vol. II, 

 p. 122, 1894.) Name applied to the Bethany formation in eastern Kansas. 



Upper coal series. Swallow. (Kansas Geol. Sur., Prelim. Kept., p. 16, 

 1866. ) This term covers very nearly all of the Atchison (Wabaunsee) shales, 

 except a few feet at the top and bottom, on the Kansas river, east of Man- 

 hattan. It appears to have included also a part of the Osage shales below 

 the Burlingame limestone. 



Upper Oswego limestone, Haworth. (Univ. Geol. Sur. Kansas, Vol. Ill, 

 p. 34, 1899.) Name given to a part of the lower limestone member of the 

 Henrietta. 



Upper Pleasanton shales, Haworth. (Univ. Geol. Sur. Kansas, Vol. Ill, 

 p. 41, 1898.) The uppermost part of the Des Moines series is so called. In 

 southern Kansas a thin limestone called the Altamont is said to be its base. 



Vilas shales, Adams. (Univ. Geol. Sur. Kansas, Vol. Ill, p. 51, 1898 > 

 A thin shale immediately beneath the lola limestone in southern Kansas 

 has thus been termed. It refers to the upper part of the Thayer. 



Wakarusa limestone, Beede. (Trans. Kansas Acad. Sci., Vol. XV, p. 30, 

 1898.) Title of a thin bed in the lower part of the Atchison (Wabaunsee) 

 shales, in Shawnee county, Kansas. 



Warrensburg group, Broadhead. (Missouri Geol. Sur., Iron Ores and 

 Coal Fields, pt. ii, p. 182, 1873.) Applied to the beds associated with the 

 coal at Warrensburg, Johnson county, Mo. It forms the upper part of the 

 Cherokee. 



Weeping Water limestone, Prosser. (Jour. Geol., Vol. V, p. 159, 1897.) 

 The stratum is probably equivalent to the Forbes limestone, the upper 

 limestone at Rock Bluff, Nebraska. 



Well rock. Swallow. (Kansas Geol. Sur., Prelim. Kept., p. 22, 1866.) 

 Applied to what is no doubt the middle main limestone of the Bethany, as 

 shown in Miami county, Kansas. 



Well rock series. Swallow. (Kansas Geol. Sur., Prelim. Kept., p. 21, 

 1866.) Term is essentially co-extensive with the Bethany along the eastern
