Notes on the Cheyenne sandstone. — Crag in. 179 
"pear shape crinoid;"* Stephanocrinus osgoodensis S. A. 
Miller. 
No. 2. Cherty beds, containing thin plates of limestone in which are 
found the same fossils as in No 3., thickness 15 feet. 
No 1. Heavy laminated quarry rock, containing fossils in No. 3 but not 
» in such profusion, the upper or "flagging" layers containing 
in addition cystids and large cephalopods, Oyroceras elrodi 
White, Orthoceras cmnulaturn Sowerby. 
Comparing the outcrops of Decatur county — Greensburg, Harris 
City, Westport — with the quarries- at Osgood in Ripley county, 
they may be readily referred to bed No. 1 at St. Paul. 
At Moscow, in Rush county, below the village, is seen two feet 
of shale (Waldron beds) overlain by Upper Helderberg ; half a 
mile below are quarries of limestone, equivalent of bed No. 1 at 
St. Paul, in which were found new genera of crinoids. 
At Anderson, in Madison county, the rocks are more of a mao-- 
nesian character, containing Pisocrinus pentalobus W. & Sp. , P. 
gemmiformis S. A. Miller, P. globosus Ringueberg, equivalent of 
bed No. 1 at St. Paul. 
Comparing the fossils we find them nearer the New York than 
any other western locality ; the majority of species are identical, 
with twice the number of species of crinoids, the new forms being 
of the same genera, while not a single Caryocrinus which occurs 
in New York, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and is abundant in Ten- 
nessee, has been found in Indiana ; a few large cystids however 
have been found, mostly in the limestone. 
The true crinoids in the limestone are so small that very little can 
be told of their structure as they are only partially weathered out. 
FURTHER NOTES ON THE CHEYENNE SAND- 
STONE AND NEOCOMIAN SHALES. 
By F. W. Cbagin, Topeka, Kansas. 
During the summer of 1890, and since my article, "On the 
Cheyenne Sandstone and the Xeocomian Shales of Kansas."' as it 
appeared in the American Geologist, was written, I have gath- 
ered some additional data touching these formations. 
By the favor of Mr. Frank I). Healey, 1 haw been shown a l<>- 
*An undescribed crinoid, with no arms or arm openings, do rhombs 
or pores, probably a transition between crinoids and cystids.
