  A 
  section 
  along 
  the 
  highway 
  from 
  Fultonham 
  

   toward 
  West 
  Fulton, 
  crossing 
  the 
  northern 
  end 
  of 
  Blenheim 
  hill 
  

   west 
  of 
  Fultonham, 
  was 
  somewhat 
  hastily 
  studied. 
  This 
  section 
  

   which 
  is 
  here 
  given 
  is 
  about 
  opposite 
  the 
  one 
  of 
  Moheganter 
  

   hill 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  Along 
  the 
  road 
  for 
  some 
  

   280 
  feet 
  outcrops 
  are 
  very 
  rare, 
  then 
  blue 
  shales 
  occur 
  contain- 
  

   ing 
  specimens 
  of 
  Chonetes 
  coronata 
  (Con.) 
  Hall, 
  Paracyclas 
  lirata 
  

   (Con.) 
  Hall 
  and 
  ot-her 
  fossils. 
  From 
  this 
  zone 
  to 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  

   the 
  hill 
  the 
  rocks 
  consist 
  of 
  a 
  succession 
  of 
  blue 
  argillaceous 
  

   shales 
  alternating 
  with 
  sandstones, 
  all 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  apparently 
  

   an 
  the 
  Hamilton. 
  The 
  highest 
  fossils 
  collected 
  were 
  at 
  760 
  feet 
  

   above 
  the 
  river 
  level 
  and 
  for 
  the 
  succeeding 
  195 
  feet 
  the 
  rocks 
  

   are 
  mostly 
  covered 
  till 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  highway 
  is 
  reached 
  

   where 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  ledge 
  of 
  bluish 
  gray 
  sandstone.
