is a vertical section from Vinita, Okla., to Sedan, Kan., and 
beyond, in Chautauqua county. It shows the Mississippian 
limestone coming to the surface at Vinita, with the Cherokee 
shales occupying the surface first to the west, then the Fort 
Scott and Pawnee limestones, followed successively by the 
various shales and limestones higher up, including the Oread 
and Lecompton limestones at the extreme western end of the 
section. Plate VIII, figure 2, is a vertical section from the 
south state line near Chetopa to Severy, in Greenwood county. 
It shows the Cherokee shales occupying the surface at the 
right-hand end of the section and higher formations regularly 
succeeding them westward, with the Burlingame limestone in 
the escarpment west of Severy; and a few of the upper lesser 
limestones beyond. Plate IX, figure 1, is a section from the 
east state line near Pittsburg, Crawford county, northwest- 
ward to Eureka and beyond in Greenwood county. It differs 
but little from the section in plate III, figure 2. Plate IX, fig- 
ure 2, is a section from the state line near Fort Scott north- 
westward to near Burlington, with a slight change in direction 
at Iola. It shows the Fort Scott limestone at the surface on 
the east succeeded by the overlying formations in regular 
order to the Oread limestone at Burlington, in Coffey county. 
Plate X, figure 1, is a section from the state line near Pleas- 
anton, in Linn county, northwestward to Emporia and beyond 
in Lyon county. This section shows the Pleasanton shales at 
the surface at the state line, succeeded by formations in regu- 
lar order to the Cottonwood limestone on the extreme west. 
Plate X, figure 2, is a section from the east state line near 
Paola northwestward to Osage City, in Osage county, and be- 
yond. It shows the Iola limestone on the extreme right, with 
succeeding formations up to and including the Burlingame 
limestone. Plate XI, figure 1, is a section from the east state 
line near Olathe westward to McFarland, in Wabaunsee 
county, and shows the Iola limestone occupying the surface 
at the state line succeeded by formations in regular order to 
the Cottonwood on top of the hills just south of McFarland. 
Plate XI, figure 2, is a section from Leavenworth westward 
to Mayetta, in Jackson county. It shows the Oread limestone 
capping the bluffs just west of Leavenworth, succeeded by 
limestone and shale in regular order, with the Burlingame 
limestone on the hilltops a few miles west of Valley Falls. The 
surface beyond this to the west is so covered with glacial loess
