482 The Upper Devonian Deposits of Maryland 



The Liorhi/nclnis yluhuUfuniic zone of the Ithaca fauna is well ex- 

 posed, occupying its normal position below the Parkhead member. 



XII. Section near Little Orleans ' 

 There is an excellent exposure of the Jennings in the cuts of the 

 Western Maryland Eailroad and in the banks of the C. and 0. Canal 

 east of Little Orleans. The section extends from the top of the Wood- 

 mont shale member to the base of the Catskill. The strata of the upper 

 beds containing the Ithaca fauna are exposed on the railroad but no 

 fossils were observed in them. Ithaca fossils were found, however, along 

 the wagon road that ascends the hill from the railroad station. Just north 

 of the railroad tracks.
