SUPPLEMENTARY NOTE 



While the foregoing pages have been passing through the press 

 Mr Charles Schuchert 1 has published a paper " On the Manlius 

 Formation of New York." The results obtained by Mr Schuchert 

 and myself have been largely based on the same sections, though 

 we differ considerably in our stratigraphic and faunal interpre- 

 tations of them. As I have had recently an opportunity to 

 examine the section about Litchfield, Herkimer co. it seems to 

 me best to note in what respects we have differed in our sections 

 and hence why we differ so widely in cur results, specially in 

 regard to the grouping of the rocks under consideration, a differ- 

 ence which to a large degree would have been avoided, were we 

 more in accord in our stratigraphic and faunal determinations.
