when worked is the Winooski or Champlain 

 marble — a mottled red and white stone used in 

 many large buildings in many parts of the 

 country. 



Few of tl« beds are fossiliferous, but some 

 abound in trilobites, Olenellus, Ptychoparia, etc., 

 and a few brachiopods, worm burrows, trilobite 

 and other tracks, etc., are also found. In all the 

 number of species is not large, probably not more 

 than fifty have been found. Of these, trilobites 

 form the larger number, brachiopods coming next. 

 A large portion of the species were described from 

 the "Vermont beds and many have not been found 

 elsewhere. 



Most of the beds are thin, but there are some 

 several feet thick. 



The great beds of roofing slate which are ex- 

 tensively worked in southwestern Vermont are 

 included in the Cambrian.
