Excerpt from New York State Museum: Bulletin 63, Paleontology 7, Stratigraphic and Paleontologic Map of Canandaigua and Naples Quadrangles The region covered by these maps is a classical one in the history of New York paleontology. In the days of the original survey Of the Old fourth district, 1836 to 1843, Prof. James Hall, the district geologist, frequently made headquarters on the beautiful shores of Canandaigua lake and both then and in later years the richly fossiliferous shale beds exposed along the lake shore and in its ravines, afiorded to him inexhaustible re sources for collecting their organic remains. As representative of the strata embraced within the Hamilton group no series of exposures in the State has been so thoroughly exploited as these. Canandaigua and its lake, 70 years ago, were easily ao cessible and so were the numerous villages scattered through northern Ontario county, but about the latter the rock ex posares have always been few and hard to find because of the great thickness of the drift mantle. Southern Ontario was more remote and though the township of Naples was reached by Hall it was for a brief visit only, and its splendid exposures and in teresting faunas were left for subsequent researches.
