A somewhat diagrammatic illustration of the Stanton-Allen limestone in a vertical section from Leavenworth to Caney. In this figure the , 
vertical scale is much greater relatively than in fig. 2 of the same plate, and is presented to represent the varying thicknesses of these limestones at FIG. 2 (in part). 
different places and also the variation in thickness of the Vilas shales lying between. It will be noted that in the vicinity of Neodesha the lime- 
stones practically coalesce, while at Vilas they are separated by a maximum distance of more than a hundred feet, the Vilas shales being here very 
prominent. At Carlisle and at Garnett the Vilas shales are almost nil, and again near the Kansas river they become very thin. Also in the vicinity 
of Eudora the Stanton limestone seems to be divided by one of the clay seams becoming expanded to a thickness of six or seven feet.

FIG. 2 (in part). 
A vertical geological section from Leavenworth to the south state line near Caney, showing the various limestone formations in regular sequence from the Fort Scott limestone below to and including the Stanton-Allen 
limestone above. The spaces occupied by interbedded shales and sandstones are left vacant to avoid confusion. It should be noted that while the limestones are represented accurately as regards sequence, the slight undu- 
lations are diagrammatic, merely representing the general fact that such undulations exist.
