REPORT OF THE STATE PALEONTOLOGIST I9O3 2I3 



This is subdivided as follows : 



Eia A coarsely grained blue limestone. Lower Manlius. . i foot 



Eib A quite finely grained blue limestone, with narrow calcite 

 veins, capped by a 2 inch band very full of specimens of S t r o - 

 pheodonta varistriata (Conrad). Lower Manlius 35^ feet 



Eic Limestone similar to the last. Few fossils. Lower 

 Manlius 1 1 inches 



Eld Tentaculite band. Specimens ofTentaculites gyra- 

 canthus (Eaton) are very abundant here. This band varies 

 greatly in thickness, being at times represented by merely a super- 

 ficial layer of the shells. Here were also found M e g a m b o n i a 

 aviculoidea Hall R and Beyrichia manliusensis 

 Weller r. Lower Manlius V2 inch 



Eie Finely grained, dark blue limestone, usually in i inch beds 

 separated by black shale seams. Lower Manlius 6 inches 



Elf A blue limestone of medium grain from which the following 

 fossils were identified. Lower Manlius I foot 



Stropheodonta varistriata (Con- 

 rad) c 



128 Tentaculites gyracanthus {Eatoti) 



R 

 146 Leperditia alta Conrad R 



Eig Finely grained limestone with thin and very irregular shale 

 seams. The upper foot is quite fossiliferous. Upper Man- 

 lius 3 feet 



From it were identified: 



86 Spirifer vanuxemi Hall R 

 S9 Stropheodonta varistriata (Con- 

 rad) R 



103 Whitfieldella ? nucleolata (Hall) c 



Eih Limestone similar to the preceding. Upper Man- 

 lius 3^ feet 



86 Spirifer vanuxemi Hall 

 103 Whitfieldella? nucleolata (Hall) 



116 Loxonema sp. 



128 Tentaculites gyracanthus (Eaton) 



Elk A rather finely grained limestone which is very fossiliferous. 

 The rock is very full of gastropod shells which are closely similar 

 to Loxonema or Holopea ; but as they are very coarsely crystalline 

 it is almost impossible to get them from the rock. Upper Man- 

 lius 3 inches
