pp4 #bcb-bed4a ,the present paper deals with the fauna of the rocks1 beginning at the base of what ,haworth has called the 8,shawnee formation0#b and continuing upward to the top of the ,cottonwood limestone4 ,the strata are treated in ascending order4 ,it must be borne in mind that it is the object of these papers to bring out the fauna of the rocks of the ,kansas ,coal ,measures in sufficient detail to establish time divisions on a paleontological basis4 ,these lists are1 of course1 incomplete for the horizons in toto1 but it is hoped that they do give the characteristic fossils of the rocks of the ,kansas river section in sufficient fulness to warrant some deductions of value4 ,the fauna of the ,lower ,coal ,measures still remains to be completed4 #bj4 ,,kanwaka ,,shales 7,adams

sixty-five feet of this is a clay shale1 then sixteen feet of arenaceous shale1 then five feet of sand rock1 above which lies eleven feet of sandy buff shales40 ,no fossils known from this horizon4 #ba4 ,,lecompton ,,limestone4 ,bennett's description3 8,capping the hills around ,lecompton is a five-foot limestone in two layers1 which we will provisionally name the #8,fusulina' limestone2 not that it alone bears that fossil1 but because of the abundance of ,fusulina in it4 ,it is the lower of another triple system formation of limestones1 the members of which are separated by a few feet of shale1 and which retain this order as far as observed to the west4 ,above the #8,fusulina' stratum are five and one-half feet of clay shales1 then one and one-fourth feet of blue limestone1 which weathers dark buff1 like all its associate strata4 ,above this are four feet of shales having a bituminous streak in the middle2 then ten feet of light gray1 easily disintegrated limestone4 ,this group formation may be called the ,lecompton limestone1 on account of their outcropping being near ,lecompton4 ,at ,spencer1 six miles west of ,lecompton1 the upper part of the series formation finally disappears below the alluvial soils of the valley40 ,from near the horizon of the above formation1 from a well in the road in the bed of ,deer creek 7the one emptying into ,wakarusa creek71

,burlingame ,wyckoff1 etc47 limestone have been somewhat confused4 ,under the title1 8,stratigraphy of the ,kansas ,coal ,measures10#e ,haworth describes them as follows3 8,above them 7,topeka limestones7 lies another shale bed fifty feet thick1 at the top of which lies the ,topeka coal1 a seam about eleven inches thick1 which has been mined in different places4 ,the coal is immediately overlaid by two thin limestone beds1 separated by less than three feet of shales4 ,above the limestone is the ,osage ,city shale1 more than #ajj feet thick1 at the top of which is the ,osage coal1 averaging eighteen or twenty inches thick4444 ,above the ,osage coal is a thin limestone system formation1 superseded in turn by the ,burlingame shales1 a body about #aej feet thick in the vicinity of ,burlingame1 and possibly more in places4 ,both the ,burlingame and ,osage ,city shales extend for long distances to the southwest and northeast1 and are important landmarks in stratigraphy40 ,bennett#f describes the succession at ,topeka correctly1 but supposes the coal above the ,topeka coal corresponds to the ,osage horizon1 instead of to the one already indicated in this paper as its equivalent4 ,haworth's statement in ,vol4 ,i1 p4 #afb1 of the ,kansas ,survey1 is practically a repetition of the one just quoted1 but he corrects the correlation of the coals in a foot-note at the bottom of page #afa4 ,in volume ,,iii of the same reports 7p4 #id7 he uses the term 8,osage shales0 for all the shales between the ,topeka limestone and the ,barclay limestone4 ,the section is correctly given by ,hall in his 8,section from ,boicourt to ,alma10#g though it is not clear just what is meant by his 8,osage ,city ,shales1 ,coal1 and ,limestone40 ,from the foregoing1 it will be seen that the terms 8,osage ,city0 and 8,burlingame10 when strictly applied1 are proposed for one and the same set of rocks1 namely1 those above the ,osage-,topeka coal1 while the shales below the coal and above the ,hartford limestone are not designated at all4 ,later1 in ,vol4 ,,iii of the ,university ,survey 7p4 #ff71 in quoting ,doctor ,adams's notes1 ,professor ,haworth gives the following3 8,severy ,shales4--#8,above the ,elk ,falls limestone is a bed of shales averaging fifty to seventy-five feet in thickness1 which1 with the protected limestones above1 forms a light escarpment that may be traced from a few miles below ,eureka to ,cedar valley1 forming a line from two to five miles west of the ,elk ,falls escarpment4 ,this shale bed is therefore sufficiently prominent to be recognized in the field1 and to be of considerable local and stratigraphic importance4 ,the town of ,severy lies within it1 and therefore it may be called the ,severy shales4'0 ,dr4 ,george ,i4 ,adams1 of the ,united ,states ,geological ,survey1 under whose direction the work of correlating the ,coal ,measures rocks of ,kansas was done last summer1 informs me that the names used in this paper and accredited to him have been passed upon by the committee on nomenclature1 and he has kindly permitted me to use them in advance4 ,so far as known these shales are not fossiliferous1

of the ,kansas river section cannot be referred with certainty to the corresponding rocks of the ,neosho river and ,cottonwood river sections1 which have been studied by various geologists4 ,as near
