Correlation of Botetourt formation—The fauna of the Botetourt forma- 
tion is clearly related to that of the Arline and Effna formations. Ptychoglytus, 
Kullervo, Leptellina pulchra, Oxoplecia holstonensis, and Perimecocoelia empha- 
size this correlation. 
Bowen formation.—This formation was named by Cooper and Prouty (1943, 
p. 876) from Bowen Cove at the northwest base of Short Mountain, Tazewell 
County, Va. It consists of about 60 feet of brown sandstone and red mudrock 
often exquisitely mudcracked lying between the Wardell and Witten formations. 
The Bowen has been identified extensively in southwestern Virginia and parts of 
northeastern Tennessee. The formation has not yet produced any brachiopods. 
The Bowen formation was thought by Butts to be the initial stage of the Mocca- 
sin formation, but Cooper and Prouty (1943, p. 877) show that Campbell did 
not include this red bed in his definition of the Moccasin formation. Witten 
and Wardell may be difficult to separate where the Bowen is absent. 
Burkes Garden member of Benholt formation.—This member was named 
by Cooper and Prouty (1943, p. 869) from Burkes Garden Creek south of Gose 
Mills, Tazewell County, Va. The rock is mostly argillaceous, crinoidal, and 
bryozoan-bearing limestone. The lower beds abound in ramose bryozoans. The 
member is variable in thickness, ranging from 50 to approximately 100 feet. In 
Thompson Valley and Burkes Garden cross-bedded calcarenites are present, at- 
taining about 100 feet in thickness in the latter place. The member is absent in 
the Clinch and Bluestone valleys. 
Brachiopods listed from the member (Cooper and Prouty, 1943) are: 
Campylorthis sp. = Chaulistomella sp. 
Dinorthis cf. D. quadriplicata Willard 
D. transversa Willard 
*Glyptorthis bellarugosa (Conrad) 
“Leptaena” aff. L. palustris Willard = Dactylogonia
