Corner of the Beach Friday August 19, 1938. Spent the afternoon in the C. railway cut 2 1/2 miles W. of this place. Cloud found more lumps here this morning, but a totally different material than that of any slab. I got none in this cut this year. Tried hard to find a trace of a fossil of any kind in the overlying marine light blue oolitic ls, but for once found a single trace. Farther south on the road the same ls ap- pears to be present and here occur small crinoidal columns, and a baby Cataggyza. Therefore the overlying ls is of the Whitehead series. Cloud made a complete exploration of Onwayup Brook this afternoon the full length of the C. outcrop, and now has about all the data in hand to be had. We feel that we can describe the C. better than any one else, but as to the use of the fossils we must have to wait until they are worked out and studied.
