pseudogaleata than galeata. 



In the limestone marked "Light and dark l's," the following 

 forms occur : Tentaculites gyracanthus, Atrypa reticularis, Sp. 

 vanuxemi, Stroph. planulata, Leperditia and Trilobite fragments. 



In the Stromatopora layers, in addition to this form, the follow- 

 ing were collected : Holopea a?itiqua, Sp. cyclopterus, Loxonema 

 fitchi, and Leperditia. 



Above the Stromatopora bed there were perhaps 3 ft. of fossil- 

 iferous layers, but so far as observed Gypidulas were absent. 

 The Coeymans limestone contains, among a number of other 

 species: Gypidula galeata, Strophonella punctulifera, Slropheodon- 

 ta, Uncinulus, Meristella Icevis, Atrypa reticularis, Stropheodonta 

 becki and a small Platyceras. 



Here, as at Oriskany Falls, just above about 15 ft. of Coey- 

 mans there is little to be seen on account of soil covering, but 

 here there is no question as to the presence of New Scotland 

 beds. They are in a hill a little way back from the escarpment 

 just described and are remarkable for the fine specimens of Spir- 

 ifers, Leptsenas etc., which they contain. Moreover, here is an 

 excellent example of weather etching. The fossils stand out in 

 relief while the limestone matrix is dissolved away. 



In this neighborhood, as for example, atJ.W. Humphrey's lime 

 kiln, there are other quarries and natural outcrops, but none 

 seemed so inviting for faunal and stratigraphic work as the es- 

 carpment at Diehl's. 



VII Howe's Cave 



In going eastward the Manlius again becomes less interesting 

 faunally. The quarries back of the mills at Howe's Cave show 

 practically the whole section. A few feet are covered on account 

 of the railroad embankment. The Cobleskill and Salina have 

 been studied and figured by Hartnagel. See Plate 2, of his re- 

 port. 



The first few feet below the Coeymans with Gypidula, are 

 very fossiliferous and contain among other species : Uncinu- 

 lus mtitabilis, Sp. vanuxemi, Stroph. varistriata, Meristella, Or- 

 this, and Dolmanites micrurus. But below, the great mass of fos- 

 sils is made up of Stropheodonta varistriata, alternating with beds 

 replete with Tentaculites gyracanthus. Gasteropods are in evi-
