"Left to Spring Garden at 1.30 P.M. in the rain. After looking up the Rome Flor concluded to travel to Rock Run 5 mile left on the R.R. toward Camden. Arrived here at 3 and then walked 1/2 mile more, but saw nothing further than the large dolomite (=limestone). and considerable quartzite, saw no fossils in either. The Fog Out sandstone is a very unsatis- factory formation as yet. I can do nothing toward putting it on a better basis. Left the 5.05 P.M. for Rock Run for Rome. At the hotel in the evening I again looked over the Rome map and find that I was not within two miles of the Fog Out sandstone in the afternoon because of an error in the map in placing Pickens at the end for branch railroad instead of on the Southern R.R. to Birmingham. What I saw was large dolomite and broken quartzite.
