With the exception of a bed of compact barren limestone at the 

 base, which has an irregular surface and is separated by an uncon- 

 formity from the overlying beds, the Trenton is composed of thin 

 beds of limestone alternating with layers of shale of equal thick- 

 ness, the whole having a distinctly transitional character like the 

 beds designated as Dolgeville beds by Gushing. A limestone near 

 the base is a shell-breccia and contains the brachiopods and trilo- 

 bites cited by Prosser. This is followed by a thin bryozoan reef, 

 from which Doctor Ulrich has identified: 



Stictoporella cf. angularis Ulrich 



S. exigua Ulrich 



Phaenopora incipiens Ulrich 



Pachydictya acuta (Hall) 



P. pumila Ulrich 



Eridotrypa mutabilis var. minor Ulrich 



A small reef of broken shells swept up by a current, passes 

 through the shaly Trenton limestone. This is especially rich in 

 fossils and has furnished (fide Doctor Ulrich) : 



Corynotrypa inflata (Hall) 

 Atactoporella ? crassa Ulrich 

 Stomatotrypa ? sp. 



Eridotrypa mutabilis var. minor Ulrich 

 Phylloporina reticulata (Hall) 

 Nematopora ovalis Ulrich 

 Arthroclema pulchellum ? Billings 

 Rhihidictya canadensis Ulrich 

 Pachydictya acuta (Hall)
