GUIDE TO LOCALITIES 



LA FERTE-SOUS-JOUARRE CENTRE.— (Thirty-six miles E. of 

 Paris.) 



The interesting sections in this portion of the Paris basin are 

 somewhat scattered, and certain of the places cannot be reached by 

 rail. Chateau Thierry, Brasles and Montmirail have stations, and 

 some of the other places can be approached by rail to within a 

 few miles. Tancrou and Lisy are within five miles of Changis 

 station. Betz and Acy are within six miles of Nanteuil-le-Hau- 

 douin station, on the Paris-Soissons line. 



The sections in the Lignites in the neighbourhood of Epemay 

 contain such characteristic fossils as Potauiides fiinatus, which is 

 here variable in form. The Calcaire Grossier exposures are very 

 rich in fossils, that at Damery especially so. The section is at the 

 upper part of a deep ravine about one mile from the village. 

 Damery is easily reached by train from Epernay. 



The celebrated Mt. Aime is situated within two miles of the 

 Colligny station on the branch line from Epernay. The Pisolitic 

 Limestone is worked in great galleries or caves.
