Stephanocrinus osgoodetisis and Pisocrinus gemmiformis. The red 

 clay and reddish limestone is the equivalent of the Osgood bed 

 as identified at Clifton and elsewhere, and the white limestone at 

 the base of the Silurian section corresponds to the Clinton. 



Next in order of succession is slightly crinoidal limestone, 2 

 feet thick, followed by reddish clay, 3 feet thick, Stratigraphi- 

 cally above this horizon belongs the crackled white and reddish 

 limestone, the equivalent of the Glenkirk bed. Owing to the 

 failure to identify the Waldron bed, the subdivisions of the Glen- 

 kirk bed, the Laurel and Lego limestones, cannot be recognized. 

 This difficulty is increased by a considerable amount of very 

 irregular faulting. Along the road east of the home of John 

 Broadus the top of the Glenkirk bed is well exposed. It is 

 overlaid by dark, brick-red clay rock, 32 feet thick, belonging to 

 the Dixon bed. This is followed by a section 20 feet thick, not 

 exposed. The overlying Brownsport bed dips strongly eastward. 

 If not faulted, the section is 170 feet thick, but faulting is not 

 improbable. Astraeospo?igia me?iiscus occurs near the base. At 

 the top of the section a thin layer of fossiliferous limestone 

 belonging to the Linden bed, is exposed. In a gully, southeast- 

 ward, Black slate is exposed. 



Along the railroad, a quarter of a mile south of the home of 

 John Broadus, there is a considerable exposure of limestone. A 

 part of it contains Edriocrinus. At the southern end of the 

 exposure is a richly fossiliferous layer, apparently belonging to the 

 Linden bed. 



In the field south of the home of Dr. Scott, the layers at the 

 top of the Osgood bed, containing Pisocrinus gemmiformis, and 

 Stephanocrinus osgoodensis are found. Along the road southwest 

 of the house and in the cedar glade west of the same, brachio- 

 pods and sponges belonging to the Brownsport horizon occur. 

 About a quarter of a mile north of the house, along the road fol- 

 lowing the base of the hill, the Glenkirk bed is well exposed. 

 A part of the Glenkirk exposure consists of a very hard and fine- 

 grained, massive, red limestone. Another part is softer and 

 white, followed by the red clayey rock belonging to the Dixon 

 bed, well exposed. The Linden bed was not identified at this
