National Road west of Tonoloway Ridge. — ^The section is exposed 

 along the National Road east of the schoolhouse. The strata dip at 

 high angles and are more or less complicated by minor folds. It is 

 upon the strike northeast of the Great Cacapon section. 



The top of the Romney is marked by a massive sandstone which is 

 exposed 250 feet east of the schoolhouse. Goniatites, Buchiola, etc., 

 occur at the base of the Jennings as in the preceding section, repre- 

 senting the Naples fauna. At 830 feet above the base of the Jennings 

 occur Spirijer pennatus var. posterus Hall and Clarke, Schizophoria 

 striatula (Schloth) and Productella speciosa Hall. At 950 feet the 

 following species were observed : 



Spirifer pennatus var. posterus Hall and Clarke, abundant 

 Productella speciosa Hall, abundant 

 Pugnax pugnus (Martin), common 

 Leiorhynchus globiiliforme (Vanioxem), common 

 Cyrlina hamiltonensis Hall, common 



At 1,020 feet Spirifer pennatus var. posterus aand Productella 

 speciosa were observed. A yellow iron-stained conglomerate abound- 

 ing in Camarotoechia congregata (Conrad) occurs at about 1,350 to 

 1,400 feet above the base of the Jennings. Red bands are seen beneath 

 it. This conglomerate seems to be identical with a similarly situated 

 conglomerate east of Hancock, which there contains Spirijer mesacos- 

 talis. Spirifer disjunctus and its associated forms are found at still 

 higher horizons. 



The faunules are thus seen to be similar to those of the Great Caca- 

 pon section, which they closely resemble both in composition and 

 altitude. All the species found between 820 and 1,020 feet altitude 

 are found in the Ithaca fauna in New York. 



National Road east of Hancock, Md. — The section described is 

 exposed on the National Road beginning just east of the village and 

 extending eastward to Tonoloway Creek. The top of the Romney is 

 marked by a heavy sandstone exposed along the road east of the 

 stream, east of the Catholic church. The Naples fauna was found in 

 the lower part of the Jennings, while above it the following faunules 

 were collected. 



750 feet above the base, Schizophoria striatula (Schloth) 

 looo-iioo feet above the base, Spirifer pennatus var. posterus Hall and 

 Clarke, abundant.
