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.
