"mounted. The models of the microfossils are better than any I have seen elsewhere. Staying at the Keelin Hotel. Friday Sep. 1— Albany to Canajoharie. Started out at seven in the morning for Johnstown and then legged to Patersonville to see the section described by Pinner and Cumings in Fifteenth Annual Report N.Y. State Geologist, 1895; 656-658. Patersonville is between Johnstown and Amsterdam. All the lown land from the Mohawk and the canal up is of Bedfordtown and if white about 183 feet can be seen. In the quarry on the side of the hill about one-half mile south of Patersonville may be seen resting in the Bedfordtown the Black River seven feet thick. In the basal two feet fossils are scarce. About five feet above the base Columnaria alveolata are very common.
