7. Paheoneilo brevi.% Hall (?). (it) 



8. Paheoneilo plana. Hall (?). (it) 



9. Sehizodus cf. appressus (Con.), Hall. (it) 



In form similar to figure 8, of plate LXXV (Palaeontology of 

 New York, loc. tit.), which is described as "a small right valve of 

 rotund form." 



XLII B 2 . About eighty feet above the river level on the very steep 

 hillside is a small excavation in bluish shales and shaly sandstones. Fossils 

 are somewhat abundant, the most common species being Microcton ( Oypri- 

 cardelld) complanatm, Hall, and Palwoneih constricta, (Con.), Hall. The 

 following species were obtained : 



1. Spirifer mesastrialis, Hall. (it) 



2. Miorodon (CypriearddUi) eomplanatus, Hall. (a) 



3. Miorodon (Oyprimrddta) gregariv-% Hall. (rr) 



4. Palceoneilo constricta (Con.), Hall. (c) 



The specimens are external impressions of poorly preserved 

 shells, but they agree closely in form and general appearance with 

 figure 1 of this species on plate XLVIII (Palaeontology of New 

 York, loc. cit.y. 



5. Nucula corbvMformis, Hall. (rr) 



Form and proportions agree well with those of this species. 



6. Paracyclas (?) pauper, Hall ('<). (r) 



The specimens are not sufficiently well preserved to show much 

 of the markings, but they seem to agree more nearly with the 

 figures of this species than with those of any other. 



7. Palaoneilo plana, Hall. (rr) 



8. Belleroplion, sp. (rr) 



This may be compared with B. Moera, H., of the Chemung, but 

 it is so poorly preserved that it is difficult to determine. 



9. Fragment of Bryozoa. (rr) 

 10. (?) Edmondia, sp. (rr) 

 XLII B 3 . In the slope somewhat above the quarry in bluish shaly 



sandstones, fossils are common, as the list indicates: 



1. Tropidoleptus carmatus (Con.), Hall. (r) 



2. Rhynchonella (^OamarotoBchid) escimia (H.), Hall and Clarke, (a) 



See R. Stevens! (H.), H. and C. The smaller specimens have 

 proportions nearer those of 7?. eximia, while the larger are more 

 like //. -S'/V r, i, si.
