HEIGHTS. 



Fig. 69 represents a section of the Champlain clays in Now Haven. It illustrates the general position 

 of the two members. Because of the great importance to Surface Geology of the exact elevation at which 

 marine fossils have been found, we subjoin a list of heights, both of the localities of fossils and of clay beds 

 in various parts of the State. Most of the observations were taken by Professors Adams and Thompson, 

 the others (in Vermont) by the present Geological corps.
