  To 
  the 
  northwest 
  of 
  Oneonta 
  and 
  north 
  of 
  Chestnut 
  

   st. 
  is 
  a 
  high 
  hill 
  known 
  as 
  Powell's 
  hill, 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  

   over 
  500 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  level 
  of 
  the 
  Delaware 
  and 
  Hudson 
  railroad. 
  

   Below 
  Chestnut 
  st. 
  at 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  this 
  ihill, 
  about 
  three 
  fourths 
  of 
  

   a 
  mile 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  the 
  city 
  is 
  a 
  stone 
  quarry 
  known 
  as 
  

   the 
  Anthony 
  White 
  quarry 
  which 
  was 
  formerly 
  worked 
  consider- 
  

   ably 
  for 
  building 
  stone. 
  The 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  quarry 
  is 
  about 
  10 
  feet 
  

   above 
  the 
  railroad 
  and 
  its 
  wall 
  was 
  formerly 
  16 
  feet 
  high. 
  The 
  

   rocks 
  containing 
  fossils 
  in 
  abundance 
  consist 
  of 
  bluish 
  sandstones 
  

   alternating 
  with 
  coarse 
  shales. 
  When 
  the 
  writer 
  visited 
  the 
  

   quarry 
  for 
  the 
  first 
  time 
  it 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  culled 
  and 
  a 
  fine 
  collection 
  

   of 
  fossils 
  was 
  secured 
  for 
  Cornell 
  university. 
  Three 
  subsequent 
  

   visits 
  have 
  been 
  made 
  which 
  were 
  not 
  as 
  successful 
  as 
  the 
  first. 
  

   This 
  was 
  due 
  in 
  part 
  to 
  lack 
  of 
  active 
  quarrying 
  and 
  further 
  to 
  

   the 
  fact 
  that 
  several 
  geologists 
  had 
  visited 
  the 
  place 
  for 
  the 
  pur- 
  

   pose 
  of 
  making 
  collections. 
  As 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  am 
  aware 
  the 
  complete 
  

   list 
  of 
  fossils 
  collected 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  my 
  first 
  visit 
  has 
  never 
  been 
  

   published, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1895 
  the 
  following 
  species 
  were 
  

   collected 
  : 
  

  

  1 
  Spirifer 
  mesastrialis

  The 
  shape 
  and 
  number 
  of 
  striae 
  agree 
  with 
  this 
  species.

  C.

  9 
  Nucula 
  bellistriata 
  (Con.) 
  Hall 
  var. 
  (a) 
  

  

  The 
  specimens 
  have 
  same 
  shape 
  though 
  smaller 
  than 
  this 
  

   species; 
  but 
  are 
  marked 
  with 
  quite 
  heavy 
  lines 
  of 
  growth. 
  

  

  This, 
  however, 
  is 
  shown
