By the side of the highway about 2I miles north of Romney 

 are outcrops of blue, arenaceous shale, the dip of which is very 

 heavy, being nearly 80° east. These shales split into medium- 

 sized pieces which do not disintegrate very rapidly into soil. The 

 color is distinctly bluish and there are calcareous bands composed 

 largely of fossils, Spirifer mucronatus (Conrad) being the most 

 abundant species. Other Brachiopods are common, as Tropi- 

 doleptus carinatus (Conrad), Chonetes, etc., while there are also 

 some small Lamellibranchs and Gastropods, but the species of 

 these last two classes are rare. It is essentially a Brachiopod fauna 

 of the Hamilton formation. The complete list of the species ob- 

 tained at this locality is given below:
