The following are the principal features of the fauna: 
1. Abundance of Strop heodontas oi the species perplana and 
hemispherica and absence of ampla. 
2. Rarity — almost absence of L. rhomb oidalis. 
3. Abundance of 5 . acjuninata, and the comparative rarity 
of other Spiriferas. 
4. Rarity of gastropods. Six genera were collected but 
the number of individuals of each was small, in some cases lim- 
ited to a single specimen. 
5. Abundance of cup corals of the form Cyathophyllum 
cornicidum, and rarity of other cup corals. 
6. The presence of Favosites ple2U'odictyoides which has not 
been found elsewhere in the state. 
7. The abundance of Saccammina eriana. 
8. The presence of Prodtictella hiincata, which is here re- 
ported for the first time in Ohio. 
9. Absence or rarity of straight cephalopods. The coiled 
forms are not abundant. 
As has already been stated the bone-bed has not been 
found here. It may be, however, as claimed by Dr. Orton, 
that the top beds belong above this line. There can be no 
doubt as to the strata extending at least close up to the bone- 
bed. This is proven by the presence of such species as Spir- 
ifera acuminata, Platyceras dumosum, and Eridophylliim verneidl- 
anum, all of which are found to the south and a short distance 
below the bone-bed. 
WHITE HOUSE. 
In Fray’s quarry just east of the village the stone is quarried 
to a depth of about 20 feet. The stone is thin bedded near the 
top, the layers being usually under ten inches in thickness. 
Farther down the strata become thicker, and near the bottom 
of the quarry one layer 28 inches in thickness is found. The 
upper part of the rock is quite free from chert, but the lower 
layers have much of it. The lower beds are less compact than 
the upper, and seem more arenaceous. Sometimes they resem- 
ble a sandstone in appearance. Above these layers the stone 
resembles more closely the ordinary limestone of this period.
