partly calcareous. The following species were obtained at this 

 locality : 



Chonetes mucronatus Hall 

 Chonetes scitulus Hall 



[The specimens are larger than the figures of this species, but in this 

 respect do not differ from New York specimens in the Hamilton which 

 are so referred.] 

 Chonetes lepidus Hall 

 Productella sp. 



Camarotoechia congregata ( ?) (Conrad) 

 Camarotoechia sappho ( ?) Hall 

 Tropidoleptus carinatus (Conrad) 

 Cyrtina hamiltonensis Hall 

 Spirifer mucronatus (Conrad) 

 Spirifer granulosus (Conrad) 

 Ambocoelia umbonata (Conrad) 

 Vitulina pustulosa Hall 

 Grammysia sp. 

 Nucula corbuliformis ( ?) Hall 



[External and internal impression.] 

 Nucula varicosa ( ?) Hall 

 Palaeoneilo constricta (Conrad) 

 Modiomorpha concentrica (Conrad) 

 Pleurotomaria (Bembexia) sulcomarginata Conrad 

 Macrochilus hamiltoniae Hall 

 Orthoceras sp. 

 Crinoid stems. 



Dr. Kindle also stated that Hamilton fossils "may be collected 

 near the railroad station at Romney."^ 



At the next rock-cut on the highway, about one mile north of 

 Romney, the shales vary in color from bluish gray to gray and are 

 rather more argillaceous than those of the preceding exposure. A 

 number of small iron-Hke concretions occur in them, but fossils 

 are not nearly so abundant as at the following locality and in some 

 of these shales they are very rare. Toward the southern end of the 

 bank they are more abundant and species of Chonetes, Bellerophon, 

 Orthoceras, and some other forms occur. The complete list follows: 



Chonetes mucronatus Hall 



Chonetes scitulus Hall 



Ambocoelia umbonata (Conrad)
