Lack of time prevented the writer from visiting the quarries at 

 Palatine Bridge and Ft. Plain, but the same fauna and order will 

 doubtless be found there. 



St. Johnsville Section. zjn^ 1 



• 



In an old quarry by the power-house dam on the east side of 

 East Canada Creek, 4 miles above St. Johnsville (about 25 miles 

 west of Ft. Hunter) occurs the light gray fucoidal limestone 

 similar to that farther east. The exposed surfaces of these beds 

 weather to a soft, friable sandstone. On one of these surfaces a 

 fauna quite rich in individuals was found. The exposures were 

 not favorable for collecting, but the following species were 

 found : 



Lingtda ovata r. Dalmanella wemplei (?) r. 



Pleurotomaria hunterensis c. Ophileta levata r. 



Ecculiornphalus multiseptarhts cr '. Murchisonia mohawkensis cr. 



O rthocer as primigenium r . ' 



Three Miles South of Ingham Mills. 



In a creek bed 3 miles south of Ingham Mills a slab of sand- 

 stone 4 inches thick was found which contained 15 or 20 lamelli- 

 branches {Edmondia (?) arcuata). The rock was not in place 

 but could not have been moved far, as was shown by the edges 

 which were sharp and not water-worn. The lithological charac- 

 ter of the rock was similar to that of the immediate vicinity. No 

 rock of this character exists in the north, so it could not have 

 been brought down by the ice. 



kittle Falls Section. 



At Little Falls two fossil localities were found, both in the 

 upper part of the series. The uppermost bed was within 10 feet 

 of the contact with the Birdseye (Lowville) limestone. This bed 

 was a medium gray limestone about 4 inches thick containing 

 a few water-worn pebbles. Fragments of Asaphiis canalis (?), 

 very much broken, were common. Ophileta levata was occasion- 

 ally found and a single specimen of Lingida ovata. This bed 

 seems, from its lithological character and position in the section, 

 to be a continuation of the Ft. Hunter beds.
