From Maysville south and similarly on the west side of tlhe 

 anticline, the Fairmount beds are very much lessi fossiliferous 

 than farther north. Many layers seem destitute of fossils. At 

 Maysville just at the top of the Fairmount in a two or three inch 

 layer of clay is a pocket of Pasceolus ? claudii Miller and Pas- 

 ceohis ? darwinl Miller. This is the only locality where these 

 problematical organisms have been found in abundance. In the 

 Maysville section somewhat above the middle of the Fairmount 

 occurs a heavy massive layer, 15 to 20 inches thick, with a pecul- 

 iar concretionary structure; the upper surface is level while 

 the under side has a rounded, billowy appearance. 



Exposures of the Fair-mount beds were examined in the Mays- 

 ville section; along the railroad between Million and Richmond; 

 near Day's Mill on the Licking river in Fleming county; in 

 railroad cuts and in quarries in the vicinity of Mt. Sterling; 

 and on a branch of Caney Creek near Lebanon. 



BELLEVUE BEDS. At Cincinnati the Bellevue marks the tran- 

 sition from the Fairmount to the Corryville. It has a thickness 

 of only 10 to 15 feet, but a distinctive fauna. Of a rather pecul- 

 iar lithologic character, it resists erosion better than the over- 

 lying and underlying strata and is often seen as 1 an 

 overhanging or projecting cliff in old abandoned quar- 

 ries on the hill sides. South and southwest of Coving- 

 ton it forms 4he capping of the hills. At Cincinnati 

 and vicinity the layers seem to be almost made up 

 of the remains of a vigorous bryozoan fauna. At Maysville
