Summary:
Pg. 113. Eudora limestone. Casually used, in one place, upper Eudora limestone, but did not define it nor locate it in his section. On p. 136 of same volume E. Haworth stated: We must conclude that Eudora limestone, as shown by Bennett in Chapter VI and plate VI, is nearly 100 feet below the thin limestone at the dam, and therefore that Garnett limestone is also; for we have satisfactory evidence the two are the same. [Pl. VI does not show Eudora limestone but does show Garnett limestone.]
