=23.= DEER CREEK LIMESTONE.[4] Three layers of limestone separated by
layers of shale. The total thickness of the formation is fifteen to
twenty-five feet. The principal stratum is the uppermost, which is from
seven to twelve feet thick. Most of the fossils below are collected from
this upper layer. It is a massive, light gray limestone, tinged with
yellow. The texture often varies much in a short distance, grading into
inclusions or banks of blue argillaceous limestone in which the fossils
are excellently preserved. It is best exposed at Calhoun’s Bluffs, in
the cut of the Union Pacific railroad three miles northeast of Topeka.

_Pinnatopora pyriformis_ Rogers.
_Polypora distincta_ Ulrich? Probably a new species. It differs from
this species in having fenestrules broader and shorter and slightly more
slender branches. However, this may be due in a large part to the
particular portion of the zoarium of which our specimens are fragments.
