  The 
  next 
  fossils 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  a 
  small 
  road 
  metal 
  pit 
  at 
  the 
  

   corner 
  of 
  High 
  street 
  and 
  Third 
  avenue 
  in 
  Rensselaer 
  (Green- 
  

   bush) 
  (station 
  32), 
  where 
  dark 
  glazed 
  shales 
  and 
  some 
  thin 
  gritty 
  

   bands 
  are 
  exposed. 
  In 
  the 
  shales 
  were 
  found 
  some 
  specimens 
  

   of 
  Leptograptus 
  s 
  u 
  to 
  tenuis 
  and 
  the 
  young 
  of 
  a 
  D

  d 
  y 
  - 
  

   mograptus. 
  The 
  Leptograptus 
  subtenuis 
  is 
  

   sufficient 
  to 
  characterize 
  these 
  shales 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  

   Dicellograptus 
  zone.

  In 
  the 
  latitude 
  of

  for 
  3 
  miles 
  southwest 
  of 
  it 
  Hall's 
  classi- 
  

   cal 
  graptolite 
  locality 
  at 
  the 
  lower 
  Normans 
  kill 
  (Kenwood) 
  is 
  

   situated 
  (station

  The 
  rocks, 
  exposed 
  in 
  a 
  railroad 
  cut 
  and 
  at 
  

   the 
  falls 
  of 
  the 
  Normans 
  kill 
  consist 
  of 
  thick, 
  partly 
  coarse 
  sand- 
  

   stone 
  banks 
  with 
  intercalated, 
  glazed, 
  grayish 
  argillaceous 
  

   shales 
  and 
  some 
  black 
  shale 
  from 
  which 
  the 
  graptolites 
  were 
  ob- 
  

   tained 
  (described 
  in 
  Pal. 
  N. 
  Y., 
  v. 
  1 
  and

  Glenmont 
  (the 
  Abbey) 
  

  

  Another 
  locality 
  which 
  furnished 
  fine 
  material 
  and 
  still 
  con- 
  

   tains 
  graptolites 
  is 
  the 
  cut 
  .on 
  the 
  West 
  Shore 
  railroad, 
  half 
  a 
  

   mile 
  below 
  the 
  station 
  of 
  Glenmont 
  (the 
  Abbey, 
  station

  where 
  

   similar 
  beds 
  with 
  a 
  thin 
  black 
  band, 
  full 
  of 
  characteristic 
  and 
  

   finely 
  preserved 
  Normans 
  kill 
  graptolites, 
  have 
  been 
  exposed. 
  

   Southward 
  from 
  here, 
  localities 
  with 
  this 
  fauna 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  

   on 
  both 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river; 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  side 
  as 
  far 
  as
