cealed, unless its topmost layers yield the loose material shown in the 
roadside cut nearly opposite Mr. Brown’s house. This part of the section 
has yielded no fossils. 
The Cardiola shale also appears in the side of the road leading to Perry 
Furnace near the house of Mr. Quigley. It is here a very smooth, yel- 
low green shale, and has yielded 
Cardiola speciosa. 
Strophodonta perplana v. parva. 
Amboceelia fimbriata. 
Styliola fissurella, 
Goniatites complanatus ? 
A third exposure of these beds is at the mouth of Losh’s rup, in Wheat- 
field township, where, ina cut on the roadside, the lower or Cardiola 
beds may be seen and their fossils collected. I have obtained here, 
Jardiola speciosa. 
Strophodonta perplana v. parva. 
A fourth exposure of these Portage beds is onthe south branch of Losh’s 
run, about two miles west of the Juniata and near the cross-roads, at 
the house of Mr. D. Bosdorf. Here the upper beds only occur, yielding 
Amboceelia fimbriata, 
Strophodonta perplana v. parva. 
A. fifth exposure of these shales is on the road leading south from New- 
port to the ore works on Limestone ridge, near Pine grove. Near the 
house of Mr. J. Ramer occur dark smooth shales by the road yielding 
Styliola fissurella. 
Jardiola speciosa. 
Coleolus acicula, 
A. sixth exposure of the same shales occurs near Newport, on the upper 
road to Baileysburg, soon after leaving the river. Here the Portage- 
Chemung sandstone is cut twice at a bend in the road, and close under- 
neath it come the shales yielding the usual fossils. Only a few feet of 
the highest. part of the Portage are exposed, but the following species 
were found after a short search : 
Cardiola speciosa. 
Ambocéelia fimbriata. 
Styliola fissurella. 
Aulopora tubiformis. 
Strophodonta perplana v. parva. 
This exposure has also yielded me a small crinoid Poteriocrinus, appar- 
ently undescribed, and a Streptelasma, both of which I have been unable 
for want of time to examine minutely. 
; T have little doubt that the fauna of this Portage group might be much 
Increased by longer search. One or two additional species have been 
gemcets obtained by recent visits to some of the other places mentioned 
above,
