The Kingsmili section which, exhibits nearly 500 feet in 

 vertical thickness of the Catskill group, and nine different 

 beds containing animal fossils. 



In No. 9, the uppermost, I could not obtain any, owing 

 to the scanty material, but saw them in the rock. 



In No. 7 a greenish yellow, soft shale, much weathered 

 are numerous but indistinct small organic remains, not re- 

 cognized.
