The Geology of Cincinnatt. 97 
between West Covington and Ludlow, but the exposures are © 
seldom satisfactory; the same strata may be seen overlying 
the Trenton in the Ohio River bank near Fort Thomas. 
Strata somewhat higher have been cut into along the line of 
the Ludlow cars in West Covington, where the car line 
leaves the river bank; also in a grading two or three blocks 
south from the old “ Post & Co. factory,” on the south bank 
of the Ohio, near Ludlow. The strata overlying these may 
be seen in a creek south of Lexington Pike, shortly after 
leaving Covington, near the ‘‘elbow;” probably, also, in 
other streams, but the fossils can seldom be had without 
“digging” for them. Many of the more delicate forms can 
be obtained in no other way. 
Middle Utica.—The middle and upper Utica are exposed 
along the line of the Elberon Avenue cars in Sedamsville ; 
in Fairmount, on Shadwell Street, one block south of West- 
wood Avenue; in West Fork and its branches, west of Cum- 
minsville; in Economy or West Covington, a block or two 
distant from the line of the Ludlow cars; at Cote Brilliante, 
in the southeastern part of Newport, Kentucky; at two or 
three points along the line of the Monmouth cars south of 
Newport; and at several points along the line of the Fort 
Thomas cars. 
Upper Utica.—Abuts on Clifton Avenue, under the Klm- 
Street Incline Plane; across the valley, north from Dixmyth 
Avenue, in West Clifton, is a good exposure; occasional ex- 
posures also occur at other points in Clifton; West Fork 
and some of its branches, west of Cumminsville, expose the 
upper Utica; also the hillsides south of Newport and Cov- 
ington show these strata at several places.

Mt. Hope Beds.—The best exposures known to the writer 
are near Mt. Hope Road, on the southeastern slope of Price 
Hill, and on Mitchell Avenue, in Avondale, near Rose Hill 
Park. They may also be seen on Clifton Avenue, near the 
Elm- Street Incline Plane, and in the quarry on the hill 
nearest the Licking, immediately south of Newport.
