This suggests that the Kimmswick south of Thebes and the 
Kimmswick at Cape Girardeau and at West Kimmswick may 
not be identical stratigraphically. 
The fossils listed in the last column of the table, under the 
letters LR, were obtained on Little Rock Island, northwest of 
Thebes, and evidently contain about the same fauna as the lower 
strata examined by Savage at the locality south of Thebes. 
10. KIMMSWICK FAUNA IN BALLS COUNTY AND IN NORTHERN PIKE 
COUNTY, MISSOURI 
The exposures at the Henry Hamilton, Big Cave, and Wood 
Cave localities are in direct contact with the top of the Plattin, 
and represent the lowest Kimmswick exposed in the Salt River 
area. The lowest exposure along the Sanders branch, locality 1, 
is supposed to begin about 15 feet above the base of the Kimms- 
wick. Locality 7 forms the top of the section. The rise of the 
stream channel is at a rate so small that no exact measurements 
can be made readily and those here furnished, beneath the 
locality numbers, are mere estimates. 
A comparison of the lower part of the Sanders branch section, 
including localities 1, 2, 3, and 4, with the Kimmswick limestone 
section south of Thebes, Illinois, shows a considerable similarity 
of faunas, including such forms as CUtambonites sp., Dinorthis 
meedsi, Dinorthis pectinella, Parastrophia hemiplicata var., Am- 
philichas cucullus, Ceraurinus cf. scofieldi or trentonensis, and 
Remopleurides sp. With this lower part of the Sanders branch 
section it seems possible to correlate also the Frankford and W. 
T. Jackson localities, in the northern part of Pike County, owing 
to the presence of Dinorthis meedsi and Amphilichas cucullus at 
the latter localities. 
Very little is known of the fauna of localities 5 and 6 of the 
Sanders Creek section, beyond the fact that Hormotoma (?) major 
tends to be more common here, and that various poorly preserved 
species of Maclurina, Maclurites, and large forms of Fusispira 
occur here. The limestone at this horizon tends to be more 
coarsely granular and more crystalline than at other horizons in
