Knob, seven miles south of Louisville, Kentucky, were closely 
related to the upper Kinderhook, as exposed in the Mississippi 
Valley. Since these layers at the Button Mold Knob belong to 
the strata known in Indiana as the New Providence shales, and 
since the equivalent of these strata lies at the base of the Cuya¬ 
hoga section in east-central Kentucky, it is probable that those 
parts of the Waverly which underlie the Cuyahoga also are 
approximately equivalent to various parts of the Kinderhook 
section in the Mississippi Valley. From this standpoint, the 
Bedford may be regarded for the present as a lower Kinderhook 
horizon. 
During the summer of 1908, Mr. W. C. Morse and the present 
writer were engaged, under the auspices of the Kentucky geolog¬ 
ical survey, in tracing the lower Waverly formations southward 
from the Ohio River. In the course of these investigations it 
became evident that even in the first county south of the river, 
Lewis County, the Berea lost its distinguishing feature as a series 
of distinct sandstones, strongly ripple marked, and no longer 
could be readily distinguished from the underlying Bedford. 
For the attenuated part of the Bedford and Berea section, the 
term Bedford-Berea is employed temporarily. 
In the east-central part of Kentucky, at Indian Fields and 
Irvine, where the Bedford-Berea section does not exceed one 
foot in thickness, a number of fossils have been found, and since 
very little is known, so far, of the paleontology of the Bedford- 
Berea section either in Ohio or Kentucky, the following notes are 
here appended. 
In the fourth volume of the Bulletin of Denison University, 
in 1888, Prof. C. L. Herrick identified from the Bedford clay 
shales at Central College, Ohio, the following species: 
Lingula melie. 
Orbiculoidea newberryi. 
Palaeoneilo bedjordensis. 
Leda ( = Nuculana) diversa-bedfordensis, var. nov. 
Orthis (= Rhipidomella) vanuxemi. 
Chonetes scitulus. 
Ambocoelia umbonata. 
Macrodon hamiltoniae. 
Microdon (= Cypricardella) bellistriatus. 
Bellerophon newberryi or Helena. 
Loxonema cf. delphicola. 
Orthoceras cf. linteum. 
Pleurotomaria sulcomarginata. 
Goniatites cf. Portage species. 
Hemipronites (= Schuchertella) sp. 
Pterinopecten sp. 
Bellerophon lineata.
