August 9, continued. appears to along the shore of Malta as the coast line cut across to Stride and at Cape Barre first cuts out the little of Mt. Joli formation, then all of the Oriskany, all of the Mt. Joli and at the stream of the Grand Couper is contact between the Mt. Joli and the Richmondian. In the afternoon climbed Mt. St. Anne and then to the Knitter. At the latter place a small brook falls over 100 feet of Comarantine conglomerate. In the morning Copan made at his stride in getting hundreds of Tetrapsis, some Ampyze, three other trilobites and a small Refinoguina. He is going to try to describe this fauna for me, or that I can use the information in my stratigraphic paper. The paleontology is to be his. The Tetrapsis stratum is about 140 feet beneath the Mt. Joli faunet contact. They are not common in a zone of about 5 feet but range about 20 feet down. It maybe how- ever that the actual range is much greater since we now know them at Mt. Pierce in several places.
