  That 
  Prof. 
  James 
  Hall 
  is 
  very 
  familiar 
  with 
  Clarksville 
  and 
  

   its 
  vicinity, 
  a 
  glance 
  at 
  vol. 
  6, 
  Palaeontology 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  

   will 
  plainly 
  show, 
  for 
  a 
  large 
  proportion 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  figured 
  

   in- 
  that 
  work 
  are 
  listed 
  from 
  Clarksville 
  and 
  while, 
  working 
  in 
  

   that 
  region 
  many 
  people 
  were 
  met 
  who 
  had 
  known 
  and 
  enter- 
  

   tained 
  him 
  and 
  his 
  assistants. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  summer 
  of 
  1892 
  while 
  engaged 
  in 
  geologic 
  work 
  in 
  this 
  

   state, 
  Mr 
  N. 
  H. 
  Darton 
  visited 
  this 
  region 
  and 
  took 
  a 
  picture 
  of 
  

   the 
  gorge 
  through 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  limestone 
  above 
  the 
  village. 
  

  

  The 
  section 
  at 
  Clarksville 
  is 
  about 
  three 
  miles 
  directly 
  south 
  

   of 
  the 
  New 
  Salem 
  section. 
  Its 
  slopes 
  are 
  much 
  more 
  gentle 
  than 
  

   at 
  New 
  Salem 
  and 
  the 
  ledges 
  formed 
  by 
  the 
  eroding 
  of 
  the 
  softer 
  

   formations 
  are 
  much 
  broader.
