"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.
