Philadelphia Wistar Institute dep. 2 - 1894. The museum is in the lower floor. The windows are not exceptionally wide but make up for it by their height. The cases are set between the windows, set against the plain and extend considerably into the room; are made of oak. Locks are in evidence. There are no partitions to the cases. One end for pipes are used for up-rights and brackets, which are open on one side; one is fastened in the back by means of screws. The shelves though can be adjusted to all labels and not obstruct view against the light.

drawings to other style of portable rocket. The striking feature of the manner are the pubobratins for life of human showy veins, arteries and nervous system. Both a number are present in but one ugly feature is that all are suspended by wires from a horizontal bar giving the impression to the observer of so much meat at a butcher shop.

Phosphate rock of Town. Beechm again the age of this rock at Cridwin. The species are Heteropoda. Modern heteropods are pelagic and have phosphate shells. The animals in dying drop to the depths and their water dissolve out the Carbonate of lime and leave the phosphate of lime as a phosphate [illegible] mud which fills the shell at lower cent of them.

"Vertebrae collecting. The paste is made of Flour and water of a pan thickness. Bunny well or bulake in well and cut about two inch wide. When the time is badly shattered it is some to stick short paper on the whole area, Otherwise if it will to stick over the time two corners of opposite direction. Leave the past dry before try to turn the time or paste for shipment. This plate of paste is fit for good house where canals exist. Le Paper they in 3g. little is good to have around.

Darren Pa. Sept 4 - 1894 Met Buehr at Kane where are gathering some interesting glass spherules. These form at the bottom of large masses of molten glass [illegible] during cooling. The reservoir in which the glass is made is probably 20 feet long and 10 feet wide inside with the glass from 3 to 5 feet deeep. Once a year or two these furnaces are cooled for repairs. Water is run on the top and at the end of a week the mass is sufficiently cooled to begin taking out the glass. Near the bottom the largest

Spherulite are found and become smaller toward the top and internally very green. Glue is kept in light of heat is supplied by natural gas. Sometimes this layer is cast out upon a flat bottom covered with sand about two feet deep, and this is broken up later and reheated when the furnace is repaired. There also the spherulites are formed near the bottom, spherulites are also formed in the pits holding some two pieces of cracked glass. From them there seems that the glass is taken for working in the pane. The glue in these

i often stored agate in a roughly shell or by presy to the bottom a petrogly. It seem most probable that these spherals are formed layer and in fine perfection where the moral cooler stream. Sep. 5- Collected a little in th Darcel on the top of the hill below and south of Darrel. Found a spine of the Palaehipus. Buck found a one Agelacimus.

12- Sep. 11 - 1894 Moreland, Ky. On Major Moreland farm a short distance to the n.e. of the station contact of the Upper Cincinnati formation and the Lowermi is well shown. The Bio- gene present. Of the Giv. for this is a point 10 feet upward at the very top of which are found Onychia sin. bovdelmi? and three feet below occurs Q. singata, P. biforata, R. capax, Archaeolina due Cinjourn). The top of the Civ. has been slightly worn and upon it is immediately deposited the Lowermi with Coms from corals and etc.

A species of Stindia occur abundantly in the Uvornias. Rep. 13 at Danville Ry 14 Burgin and then to Cincinnati. Put up at Tullume Hotel

1897 Washington to Nashville. Penn Centennial Exposition May 5. Left Washington 2.20 Pm. in C & O exprd. May 6 Arrived in Norfolk No, about 7.30 am. Spent the time until 2.10 at Wicks. Arrived in Louisville at 1.20 can Nashville at 11 P.M. May 7 Set up the Lury fossils. 8 Assisted G. Clarke on the Mineral and rock collections. 9 Collected fossils in the memory at Rest Side. Paid a short distance east of the Centennial Exposition grounds. The horizon can be provisionally called the Stromaterrig beds. 10 Set up the Museum fossils, tributes.

May 11 Set up the Museum fossil Carnivora and fishes. 12 Set up Lucas exhibit, 13 Set up coin exhibit and assisted Benedict. 14 Set up library exhibit, 15 Called on Prof. Lefford and adjusted all fur things in the Museum exhibit. In the afternoon collected fossil near Reservoir hill over the hill just north of it. On the north- east side of the hill near the top is an area quarry of pebbly beds with Ortho- rhynchulus leinuzi. Beneath this bed is a thick bedded grey limestone and large Lepiditae. A little to the west of this quarry and probably like the

Lve. 2 20 fut lower are other again the top, which expose the beds with numerous Tetra- decim. Some Shigatiform and Colyumaria. The black spores of the higher levels are quite rare here. That of the fossils are from due to the weathers conditions of this bed. May 16 Sunday Looked around the Penetentary jungle to the north Nashville) in the morning. Collecting metributes from another area in the Pnt. wall - primary Oligocene. In the afternoon went a recent called Slendale to the south of Nashville. Collected a few Oothus.

May 17, spent the morning with Lefroy in securing the Lower Steldahy Bealitus. In the afternoon collected around Reservoir hill. Just at the base of the hill along the Sludge cars track. This hazm may be called the Chernmanian horizon. It cannot be much lower than the Tetradian horizon, probably not exceeding 20 feet. Then collected a few bog oysters from a stretch putting in to the south east of the reservoir. May 18 Spent an hour on the river part between the two bridges and found also ostracods. Then collected on Magdushill. The following is a section,

"Note. At West Side Park in a shut-coring there is exposed the same soft yellowish-white soft limestone almost a chile having the same fresh as on the basal layer of the section of the previous page. Immediately above these beds at West Side Park occur the Chromet-form bed and although I don't remember seeing any of these fossils on Apple Hill yet I believe both take the same horizon. Beneath these soft limestones at West Side Park in the lowest adjacent field one can gather numerous P. incrusteens and small P. bipartite and rares an O. brachis. There are there the underlying Tanton beds while are above, which Sapping he called the Capitol Hill limestone, are

the transition belongs to the Cincinnati. If this is true one should expect that some of the Capital thin limestone bryozoan should also occur in the min quarry horizons about Cincinnati. May 19 Packed two boxes and shipped by freight. Then went to Exposition and adjusted Tassoni ladder. At 21 P. M. left for Camden arriving there 7.30. May 20 Collected all day in the Camden clust just a th out skirts north of the village To the south of the village I could see very little. This clust had appear to be six 12 to 25 feet thick and is

overlain by a chalk bed about 6 or 7 feet thick which is grey blue when weathered but appears to be quite red when unwreathed, as it is in Bleech Shely's synopsis. The top of the shale has a thin bark of limonite ore (zinco) and on this soft foliage loose sandy beds. There can be no doubt that the Candle Creek is true Lithology since nearly all of the characteristic blue jost are here or are represented by chalk related forms. The only typical I close are Spiderum auratus and Ericocinrus,

May 21 Started out from Camden to find Safforde Lown Heldubys locality on the Ridsong. "Halls Landing" is near Brookport and "Mathies & or g miles for Halls tail. is not on the Ridsong but on Wolf Creek. After considerable driving over very bad roads on the Delicious gap at 2 P.M. found Lown Heldubys outcrop, while I collected a bag of fossils. I am disappointed since the rest of the bag contains Byrgova. Brooch- fords are scarce and only all one form. This locality is near Chaseville on Wolf Creek up the stream from the main road going from Chase- villle to Holliday. About half a dozen of brocups w ~ quarter of mile. from the road.

in one place The dip of the strata is marked, and the formation may be from 20 to 25 foot thick again by the Camden chert. The latter cannot be seen except by the mark of broken chert on the two sides. At Allens mill on the Birdsey occurs an exposure of Menisid cus bristae followed by Zone Helduby. I saw a few Zt. Orthis and several two species and some fragments of that peculiar bush crinoid root. That the Meniscus bristae also occurs here is shown by the presence of Astraeospongiae. On Wolf Creek the Zone Heldu- bury is mainly a shale and a few thin beds of limestone. One portion has considerable limestone and it

In way are the rods, excepting fahrenheit. Slept at Holliday Town. May 22 Started out for Camden and between the fourth and fifth mile N.E. of Holliday along side the road found good excellent express of Mr. Hedderty. Probably 35 fat on him exposed. The Black- colored are here more numerous, but not abundant as they expected. The cords or Buckelina and Tarrilton are most abundant in the lowest layer where the Byzon are practically absent. The Phacops came for the upper portion. Shipped three small boxes by freight from Camden, C.N. & St. L. R.R.

May 23 Left Camden at 7:30 Am for Big Sandy arriving then 9.45. By carriage. May 24 Six miles south of Big Sandy at Tom Barnes house in shewn about ten feet I Lower Hellsbury overlain by Ordovay. Tom Barn-han road Ordinay chert. future land North Lower Hell. e Ord. miles N - S W. dip about this. In places here the Lower Hellsbury is unworked and intermixed with Ordinary chert and overlain by a black bituminous band 2 or 3

"but they in which are mere recently found, a minutes basis truth. The Oolite is blue does not apparently exist on the spot but must be closely in place. The black band came on into a blue gray band just as it is in the tent at truck. This may be a Big Sandy glacial pebbles deposit. The Bridgman formation is more shown in a small quarry to the east of Big Sandy. It appears to have the same thickness here as at Camden about 20 feet. The Sturges and Catawba are more abundant than at Camden. The Oolite is inconstant seen many times along with Camden gravel for say one mile east of Big Sandy.

May 21 - drove 1/4 mile north to Jeffors Williams mill locality. This is at a bridge crossing the Big Sandy creek about half C. The exposed horizon is on the bottom side, seemed quite all lignite peats. The exposure is about 30 feet and is are a blue shale. This the Belthyme shale as exposed in New York. The lowest layers hold main Atypus reticularis followed by Anastrophus beds and then the Orthus beds. It is in the center of the Orthus bed that this Anastrophus occurs. The Phlepsi's are found for the Anastrophus have exposures and also the Josephines. It is my belief that the Allen mills beds are below them.

and that those near Holland are nearly all above there at the bridge. If this is true the Lower Helderberg in Fulton Co. cannot be less than 75 feet thick. It passes from the Meniscous Limestone to a blue shale and then towards the folds, these beds of limestone are again introduced. A boy out of Lashlee Race Henry Dr. Tipton said he would collect shells at 35 cents per cigar box. Mays packed a box and shipped by Southern Express, left for Candies at 8 A.M. Left Candies for Nashville at 3.30 P.M.

May 27 Spent the day at the Exposition. Nashville. May 28 At Las Casas in the Ridley Limestone there is a Portorthus mud like the one found in the gorge of High Bridge Ky. AL 3 miles for Brandstine Branner shale contains th cock comb pterod and Dipterodon Catur. See but Car age to German. Sparta Tenn. In St. Louis Trade. Rhyn. mutilata etc. Spinks suggests Dr. define questions is it either Miama or a. H. The specimens are of the I. crepus group and have no relationship with I. patulumorum. See Hall's vol.

"From" Jerome H. Hudgens - 1 mile South of Big Sandy Station, Benton Co. Tenn." Lepidura loc. If he has a description which I do not appear to have. It is apparently much like L cyclopterus. This loc. is now near my Tom Davis house. Dicranineus ostreorum occur at Alamosa county, Nashville Tenn. Springthymus textiles occurs near Rogersville Tenn. (East) Near Hollands (Dafford B) there is a Pentamerous much like P. lacguatus. The latter I am almost certain occurs "on the ridge" south of Alamosa in New Mexico 10- 20 feet below Blackthole! Eichwaldia occur abundantly at Alamosa Tenn,

Orthus fiscalis ca Preno adroceo at Lewisville and Dayton Ohio in A cutinodony. Lafford have Lingula from the black shale at Lindley's Free whil I must hide L. melic but may be different, they at Eagle creek east of Ellisto this same form seems a little smaller and association with that offers like L. spatulata.
