Friday Sep. 14 - 934 Then two miles S. of Senecville on the E. side the road is a little cliff with many forms of fossils, much distorted. These appear true of the Devonian type zone. This is Locality 2. Then 1/4 mile W. on private road leaving main N-S. road, and W if Loc. 2 is exposed a little cliff once a few running by trees having mud- or shale rolled and somewhat metamorphosed concretions. Here cones are common, but no Eridophyllum occurs. The most interesting fossils are drawn out brachio- pods, a coarse flinty form - probably of a Con- chidium, It has a marked ventral median septum and a very thick axial portion. For the present the evi- dence is for that these are Conchidea near C. laqueata. When we chattered them to procure these shells suggested to Clark Spinifer ar- rectus, but they are clear fresh watered speci- mens of the very elongate and narrow shells above referred to as Conchidium. This is Locality 3.
