But although fish remains were known to occur in this formation 

 so long ago, thtey were practically not represented in collections until 

 they were rediscovered a few years ago by Mr. Bryant. Since then 

 he has visited the locality at frequent intervals and has made a con- 

 siderable collection of specimens, and on one occasion both authors 

 of this catalog visited the locality together for the purpose of 

 collecting. 



The mode of occurrence of the fossils, in places where they are 

 abundant, is well illustrated in figure 3. This represents a slab of 

 limestone 11 by 18 inches, which contains 21 specimens of fossils 

 and fragmental material. The remains are, however, not equally 

 abundant throughout the bed. They seem to have become piled up 

 in some places, while at others they are almost absent. Here and 

 there one may encounter an almost complete fish plate.
