Below these rocks are red shales. Farther west, in the railroad 
cut not. fat east of Eaton, is a massive, buff limestone, the thick 
layers considerably shattered, which underlies the platcau of this 
region. One and one-half miles east of Eaton is the base of a 
massive flint limestone. This flint and the superjacent limestone 
are referred to the Florence flint and limestone of the Chase forma- 
tion. 
WINFIELD SECTIONS. 
The Florence limestone can probably be followed west across 
the country from Eaton to the valley of the Walnut river at Win- 
field, as stated by Mr. Gould.1 To the east of the Southern Kan- 
sas railroad, in the eastern part of Winfield, is a quarry in massive, 
buff, soft limestone which has been worked quite extensively. The 
lower part of the limestone is laminated; in the upper part are 
many ‘‘sand holes,” and portions of the rock are bluish to lead 
color. It resembles closely the Jones quarry at Florence, and it is 
clearly the Florence limestone. The following section was meas- 
ured from the base of this quarry, which is about on a level with 
the Missouri Pacific railroad station to the top of the hill just east 
of the Southwest Kansas College:
