The black shale (5), about 
following forms: 
50 feet above the Oriskany, yielded the 
Faunule of zone 5 of section 1382 B, near Covington, Va. 
[a, abundant; c, common; r, rare.] 
1. Orbiculoidea cf. lodiensis var. me- 
dia (r). 
2. Anoplotheca acutiplicata (c). 
3. Panenka (?) sp. (r). 
4. Styliola fissurella (a). 
5. Tentaculites gracilistriatus (a). 
About one-half mile north of Covington, at the side of the wagon 
road, just opposite the blast furnace (1382 A), the limestone (1) of the 
section given above is again well exposed to a thickness of about 6q 
feet. The following species were obtained: 
Faunule of section 1382 A , near Covington, Va. 
[a, abundant; c, common; r, rare.] 
6. Cyrtina rostrata (r). 
1. Lichenalia cf. torta (c). 
2. Stropheodonta cf. beckii (c). 
3. Orthothetes woolworthanus (r 
4. Uncinulus mutabilis (c). 
5. Rensselseria sequiradiata (c). 
7. Spirifer concinnus (a). 
8. S. cf. cyclopterus (r). 
9. Avicula cf. communis (r). 
10. Diaphorostoma ventricosum (r} 
West of Covington fossils were collected from the dark sandy shales 
which lie above the typical black shale at the following stations: 1382 
C, west bank of Jackson River, one-fourth mile south of Chesapeake 
and Ohio Railway bridge at Covington, and 1382 D, hard, bluish-green 
shale, one-fourth mile west of Covington, on roadside. This is a 
somewhat higher horizon than 1382 C. The faunules obtained from 
these outcrops (Jennings) are as follows: 
Faunule of section 1382 C, near Covington, Va. 
[a, abundant: c. common; r, rare.] 
1. Paracardium doris (a). 13. Hyolithes sp. (r). 
| 4. Goniatites sp. (r). 
2. Coleolus sp. (c).
