is ‘a mountain of fossils,’ similar to the limestone blaft at Cincinnati, 
with which he is familiar. This limestone rests upon mica schist, speci- 
mens of which he also brought from the same locality. Whether the 
limestone was conformable to the schist or not, Mr. Hall did not deter- 
mine. It is much to be regretted that this interesting point was not 
examined by him, as it is doubtful whether this locality may ever be 
visited by any future expl
