Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Study of the Fauna of the Hamilton Formation of the Cayuga Lake Section in Central New York
The following paper is a contribution to the knowledge of the fossil faunas of the Devonian of the United States. It was begun by Mr. Cleland as a piece of research work in the course of study for the doctorate degree at Yale University, and was used as a thesis in taking the degree of doctor of philosophy in June, 1900. During the summer of 1901 some additional work was put on it, based upon more extended field work.
The value of the investigation consists chie?y in the statistics it furnishes as to the approximate composition of each of the successive faunules making up the total fauna occupying the Hamilton forma tion of central New York. In it account is given of the species obtained in a careful and full examination of every foot of the sec tion from the top of the Onondaga (corniferous) limestone to the base of the Tully limestone, both of which are well marked in the Cayuga Lake section, thus constituting definite limits for the Hamilton for mation of this particular region.
