In the midst of these Cashaqua beds is the 



Parrish limestone 

 which has frequently been referred to in our publications 

 because, first, of its singular composition of greenish and red- 

 dish calcareous nodules, which are usually fused into a continu- 

 ous mass and resemble the kramenzel so characteristic of some 

 of the European Devonic beds of equivalent age, and again 

 because the abundance of Goniatites which it contains chiefly 

 of the species Manticooeras pattersoni, Torno- 

 ceras uniangulare and Probeloceras lutheri, 

 together with Orthoceras pacator, some singular and 

 undetermined fish remains and myriads of the pteropods Stylio- 

 lina and Protospirialis. The rock is continuous nearly across 

 the map and beyond it to the east. 



Rhinestreet shale 

 In these recurrent beds of black shale the fauna is again very 

 much curtailed. Only the following have been obtained from it: 



Polygnathus dubius Hinde 

 Prioniodus spicatus Hinde 

 P. erraticus Hinde 

 Palaeoniscus devonicus Clarke 

 Acanthodes pristis Clarke 



Spathiocaris emersoni Clarke 

 Lunulicardium velatum Clarke 

 Pterochaenia fragilis Hall 

 Leptodomus multiplex Clarke 



Hatch flags and shales 

 The fossils in these arenaceous beds are all representatives of 

 the Cashaqua shale fauna but in very much decreased quantity. 

 Goniatites, specially Manticoceras pattersoni and 

 Probeloceras lutheri occur in the flagstones, also occa- 

 sional specimens of Lunulicardium ornatum and L.
