its typical species, Cucullcea saffordi, Venericardia, Yoldia eborea 

 and corals. 



Half way from Josh Hunter's to Allen ton we halted and picked 

 out of the rocks at the roadside, Pholado7nya sp. and Cticulliza 

 saffordi. 



On the hill-slope i mile north of Allenton we encountered the 

 Graveyard Hill fauna and collected in a cornfield, Enclimatoceras 

 tdrichi, Crassatella sepulcollis^ Cucullcea macrodonta, Venericardia 

 alticostata, Niicula mediavia, Turritella alabainiensis , Pleiirotoma 

 adeona, Dentalmni and corals. 



In the highway near the dwelling place of Mr. W. W. McCon- 

 nico we observed traces of what seemed to be this same fauna. 

 The specimens however were fragmentary. Mr. McConnico verj- 

 kindly guided us to the famous Oak Hill outcrops and assisted in 

 making two or three valuable collections. A few minutes' staj' 

 at Dale's branch sufficed to gather the following specimens: 

 Venericardia alticostata (Matthews' Landing var. ) , Yoldia eborea. 

 Cuciillcea inacrodonta, Niicula ovicla, Pecten alabanieiins, Cardium 

 nicollettivdiX., Asta7''te aldrichiana, Dentaliiun, Cadii'us turgidus, 

 Fulgur eocense, Fusus tortilis, P. mohri, Pseudoliva vetusta, Turri- 

 tella mortoni var. levicunea, Turritella alabamiensis . Strepsidura 

 heilprini, Exilia pergracilis, Calyptrophorus velatus var.. Pleiiro- 

 toma persa, P. adeoiia, Pyropsis perula, Volutilithes rugatus, V. 

 guercollis, Caricella lea7ia, Scaphella shozvalteri, Natica alabami- 

 ensis, Levifzisus trabeatus var., L.f dalei. 



The best and most convenient collecting ground in this vicinity 

 is at the roadside i mile west of Oak Hill P. O. This is bed 9, 

 see p. 31. The matrix consists of a blackish, gra^dsh and greenish 

 sandy clay about 6 feet thick and rests upon a hard ledge of sand- 

 stone, — bed 10. This shows practically the same fauna as that 

 enumerated from Dale's branch, though it is somewhat more 

 prolific. One of our most important discoveries here was a speci- 

 men of Enclimatoceras 7ilrichi, fragmentary to be sure but showing 

 well the form of the volutions and the septa, and coming from 

 the very upper limit of bed 9. Some of the other forms observed 

 here are as follows: Pecten alabamensis, Verticordia, Cucullcsa 

 macrodo7ita, Yoldia eborea, Leda guercollis, Venericardia alticostata 

 (Matthews' L/anding var.), Cadiclus turgidtis, Cylichna meyeri, 

 Scapha7ider alabamensis , Pleuroto77ia adeona , P. pe7^sa, P. 7nediavia, 

 Pletirotomella ivhitjieldi, Levifitsus suteri, E. 7;^(?/^r^, E. guercollis, 

 E. tortilis, E. 77ieyeri, Miu^ex 77iatthewse7isis, M. 77t07^iiliis, Eulguro- 

 ficus juve7iis , Py7Vpsis pe7'ula, Exilia perg7'acilis, Strcpsidia'-a heil- 

 prini, Tiundtella alaba77iie7isis, Ti''och7is alaba7ne7isis , Olivella 77ie- 

 diavia, Volutilithes rugatus, V. li77iopsis, Pseudoliva 7i7iica7'i7iata^ 

 P. vetusta var.. Solarium perscelidium, S. alaba7nense, N. reve7^sa.
