3426 New Haven, August 30 1916 Started at 4:08 P.M. for Greenfield Mass to meet Professor Raymond, and his student Clarke. Tomorrow morning we all go together in an auto to see the Adirondacks between Wolcott and Watertown. Greenfield, Aug 31-7 916 Met Raymond and Mr. Clarke at 8:30 at the Mansion House, and we started at once for Albany, N.Y., in the famous auto. In Greenfield there was a heavy fog or haze but a half hour along the Mohawk trail the air cleared and we had a fine scenic view of the Berkshires, via North Adams and Great Barrington. Left for Albany by 2:30. Then called on Dr. Clarke at the museum for the rest of the afternoon. His new museum is fine and splendidly

"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.

The Camarella is in lost box (batutamu).

"six to eight" miles thick. and more place they made a thin reef Bry- ozou are common here, and occasionally there is an Ostracous. Then follows the Amsterdam limestone eight feet thick. The contact seemed to be rather hard and many fossils are common to both. Here Stylophora incurvata and Ailenopora are very common, one or than I ever saw before. No Glum- mariu here but got a fine lead of Stromato. cerium. Rafinesquaria alternata, Pleetambonite serriceus, Phymatocrinus increscent, Jozzopbia ae- currinstra, Oithon jectiniella, Pleiothrix mica, tulla, Camarrella sp. etavanensi also occurs here. Trinuclus concentricus is somewhat common, and Lependitta fatulles[illegible] Then came the Glens Falls limestone, nodular, fourteen feet thick. Here all Ailenopora are about, but the common fossils are Tortulus pyras, Pavor- jona, Stylophora incurvata (rare), Rafinesqua alternata, Pleetambonite serriceus and many

Along the river from just north of the bridge may be seen the contact of the Lowville with the Beckmantown. Bridges North by Amsterdam Bridgeage like Lowville 5-6 feet Beckmantown 20 ft about 30 W. The angular unconformity between the Beck- mantown and the Bridgeage is easily seen here. The Lowville is the typical milky white (blue on- side) stone but the bridgeages are not more developed than those many circular then and sharp crystalline radial tufts (1/8 meter, ten in diameter). There is considerable intra/mo- natural englamate and as usual at joints

There is no evidence of Black- River here, certainly none like that at Patte- senville, and its place may be taken by the Lenville. Leaving Amsterdam we went to Trits Hill and then across the Mohawk to the Beedmantown quarry less than a mile east of Fort Hunter. Here near the top of the Trits Hill part of the Beedmantown occurs the light fossiliferous Trits Hill formation. The bed occurs in pockets about from just beneath the top of the quarry, or about 30 feet beneath the top of the Beedmantown. Raymond says this design is the same as the lower fossilferous

The Trenton Reedmann (Buff. G. y. 162) states in the Glens Falls formation, the lower Trenton, and we are long regarded as a part of the true Trenton because it does not occur at Trenton Falls.

We then motored 17 miles out to Canajoharie by the change I the same game to see the section described in this same paper by Parson and Cremins (p. 638). Here the (<Tritic livid) Bellmountain is at the tip undulatory shortly due to folding or rather due to warping previous to the Trenton. The tip layers are also creathed out into shallow pockets and in places fats are plucked out. Into these hollows and undulations the Trenton fits but at the very base and flat one up to eight inch agency. thus are pettles mainly then rounded by the Bell- mantins.

The Canojharie shale appears to be accoding and middle to Ruedemann, equivalent to the lower thirds of the Trenton as shown at Trenton Falls. This then will explain the head and thc conglomerate at the base of the Canajoharie shale (Lee Bull. N.Y. 162:29).

about 30 inches apart. The Canajoharie chalk chale (forming the Otica) comes in sharply above the Trenton, Here again the top of the Trenton like the Beedman Town has the top somewhat eroded and there are inch of the blue shale in one lying and has parts of Trenton of limestone up to eight inches across and chalk shale forbles. Then all in dull blue somewhat tiny shales = the Canajoharie. The finds cited by Ruedemann (Nus Bull 162, 1912; 30-26) show that the li. and shales belong to one successive series. Even though there may be a heal between them it seems to have no time (stratigic) value. The same graptilites occur in the shales of the limestone that are found in the Canajoharie. Some of the limestone finds persist into Canajoharie shales but as a rule most chief not. The Beedman Town in now divides into the upper Tribs Hill, the Brailifam - facoidel dregs, and the lower Little Falls. The greater thickness is about

As the Trikes Hill fauna occurs here near the top of the Beechman Town, and at Bellefonte Pa, near the base, it follows that the Beech- mentum of this region is only base Beech- mentation and may form a part of the same formation of the Champlain Valley. This is the original area for Birdseye formation. It's a local character, and the so-called birds- eyes elsewhere are due to other causes. The crystal- lire fillings or common in all other places show no evidence of being due to Tetradium. At least there's no evidence in connection with the fillings, if they are due to Tetradium then in some tubes one should get the evidence of the crabs.

mational character, saw no Tetracrinus in any of the tubes and not even in any of the Lons- dville limestone. At Little Falls the Precambrian rocks rise above the river level. In May 200 feet in the railway car near the station of the N.Y.C.R.R. on the opposite side of the river we saw contact with the sedimentary in Little Falls in the rail- way just east of the first line station. Where the trough of fer in a their reddish shale looking material -- could not got close this to see the detail. The Little Falls dolomite about 10 to 25 feet above the base is full of coarse well rounded sand and iron pebbles of 1/2 inch. The Cystozoma bed comes in high off the cliffs and probably more than 100. feet above the base. At Little Falls just above the granite in a Paell sandy shale Ray- mond some years ago collected Lepidus acu- minota On the top of the hill faced of Little Falls we again saw the Amsterdam li, full of John- Anna and with pieces of the Bridge li! This

means another well between the Lorrville and Amsterdam (only = Blyed River). Here also occurs a little of the Black River for Chumnaria alveolata was found. The Lorrville is here full of passages, typical and of very large orge, up to half inch in dia- meter. In the afternoon autored to Cushing Realit (see hi Herlimer Co. N.York) along King Creek and Middletown. At the bottom of the Creek may be seen the Beelmantown, disconformity On it rests, the Lorrville, 15 feet thick, in a series of un- dulatory beds, the undulations due to the uneven surface of the Beellmantown. Almost throughout the minute bridges are more marked some of them encroaching and some intra form expl. Common but none of the large ones. Near the middle there is a There is no Amsterdam here on any Black River. The Trenton rests disconformally upon the Lorrville which is a close light blue and heavy bidded limestone almost devoid of fossils, while the Trenton is dark blue, thin bedded with these lasting and abundantly fossil- forms. They may not be actual Lower Trenton. In the basal beds de. testudinaria and P. seri cens are as evidently common, Le. so are Electrotta.

Plicatella, Quintin pectiniella, Q. triceraria. Frag are an Parasaphia demificta, Phychitum ineretseus. At about 20-fut above the base appear Trivinculus concentricus and they continue to the top of the li, for 75 fut. Byrgra are very common and Praosporum are seen throught. The base of the Trenton has folds of the Lorville shoring there is a break between them. It does not seem to me that all of the lower Trenton is here. The Trenton limestone is about 100 fut thick, and is followed by transition zone of then dense enbro- dally facuting li, with thick shale partings, abut 100 fut thicks. Then the Htica Shale. In the transi- tion zone near Shelime, but no Tricorotys tim are many ostracoda and Leptorites like, but no graptolites. The Trenton at several goes has great wave lags with the crust from 24 to 30 inches apart. The endme were in shallow water deposits. Are then motored to Hermimer. Part of at the Palmer House, shipped a box here.

The Black River is full of fossils but are not found, Birds, saur. Lep., Insects, Pterodact. and Batrachians are the usual ones, Also Cheiracaris. The Lower beds at the bottom is sandy and in places the fossil layer is a sandstone. The base of the Black River here has no fossils in it of older formations. As an acre of the Trenton is exposed at Trenton Falls, the thickness is probably near 300 feet and maybe 320 feet.

HerKimer - Trenton Falls, Sep 3 - 1916 In the road-metal quarry at Herkimer we saw fine out- crop of the LaVillette and Black River (= Leray). The two formations rest on one another in "welded contact" (Hitchcock) Leray Black River = Leray, No faults of this contact. LaVillette ||| |' |' ||| ||| 200 yards out-1/2 of line 1 contact.

These lays remind me of the top of the Tracton at Ludlow, &c., in the same layu that the pron in this two places are different. The Etica Raymond tells me rests with a half control on the criminal Tracton. Does this mean a her ther? The latter is the usual intepretation

top is a zone 27 foot thick of heavy bedded li. crystalline made of marked together material, two-thirds of which is crinoid matter. Plectodoria lipnate/plates and O. testudinaria are very common, and more rare P. deltroides, P. sericus. Below this is the upper Trenton of thin bedded li. with much shale partings. In the P. deltroidea domain. It is between 75 and 100 foot thick. The ocrea or upper entated zone occurs about 30 feet below the top. P. lipnata occurs often. Dalothe quarry is in the domain and apparently about 70 feet beneath the top, but about two miles away from the stream. The lower local zone of entated strata occurs just below the upper Trenton. The lower said Trenton is more heavily bedded at midbut little shale and here fossils are much scarcer. Pias/praen, O. testudinaria, P. sericus etc. Triplecia rotana occurs near the middle of Trenton here Left Trenton Falls at 3.45- and 5.30 are gone up in the day at Martinsburg, a little inn on the upper level, out of Upper Trenton.

Again it is this crocheted contour as at Harpston. The Trenton has at ~ P. litans, P. Lami Micra, O. tricanalis and O. Practicella.

Martinsburg, N.Y. Sep. 4-1916 walked east 2 1/2 miles to East Martinsburg. Here we begin in the Laurentian granite, a fairly common plain and on which rests the Parrelia. It starts in with a coarse sandstone with some pockets of to 1/2 inch veins. Then follow the generalized sections described on Monte page. The thickness is probably 65 ft (Cushing gives it as 70 ft). The Parrelia goes without break into the Lorrville and all is a shallower carboniferous deposit, the water at our time falls off more than 20 feet deep. Where the semi-crackling seems there the riffles are about 1 1/4 from crest to crest. If the Parrelia is started with T. pellucida - the thickness in 450 ft (Cushing put out) The black river returns the Lorrville again in a "welded contact." Saw no Columnaria. There are many fossils in the Leray but all are hard to get and then but future goal. The thickness is about 10 feet. The Trenton begins at once with Triplexia, Para-stethia, Orthus tricarinus, Oinoriths; Peetinella. Then the regular lower, middle and upper Trenton as at Trenton Falls. The crinoidal crystalline Trenton is also here but far less well developed and in totality it is the lower Trenton from 10 to N-2 feet thick. In the lower beds remain Raphisguina deltoides and Stephomana hila

"The total thickness of the Trenton in the Prairie North is 475 feet according to Miller. This is about 175 feet thinner than at Trenton Falls. The Trenton thickens to the N.W. at the expense of the Utica. Miller gives the Utica a thickness of 180 feet. This is followed by 200 feet of similar Hard Shales with the same lithic fossils and is regarded by Miller as of Frankfort age. The dead layers are rare here. Then he calls the Lower Lorraine. The higher or Upper Lorraine is about 200 feet thick and becomes more and more a sandstone and is replete with fossils. Then follows the Onarga sandstone that is at least 100 feet thick."

Near the middle of the Trenton, at the footfalls of Rocky Brook we again saw distinct beds, but far or thay at Taylor Tally. Late along with large Orthoceras, Trachymera, Raphistoma. Hydra appear rarely Cyclaspis fisulenta. Labor thought down the Frankfurt by Orthos reminding of O. gracile. Onerosus reams rough In the afternoon rode about four miles east to Weststone brook to see the Utica and the higher Cincinnati series. The Utica is the normal Haell shale with some large Treachters feeli n large specimens. Endromus juteiforme is abundant. Inaptiles are rarely seen and other forms. These Haell shales fans into green gritty sandy shales that hidden of introduce more and more thin sandstones (from 1/2 to 2 inches thick) and more thinner than is a persistent sandstone some, all in shale. nearly thin sandy limestone in the latter abound in Bygon dolmanella, or large Plectan trills, rarely Ru- also Contrita. And two Phragma alternata, Gygopina cincinnatensis. In the thin sandstones the same forms occur but more often Dolmanella, Plectan trills, Byssomychia radiata, Orditepisis modistaris and other smaller forms. Also saw little Cornulites (always simple) or Tentaculits. Saw me Scrovinus subcrassus and jukely Eotemronius. Splytremains columnals are

"the most common found. Saw no Erynnis leadi. Left Watertown at 6.40. Stopping at the Le Roy Hotel. Lowville is one of the prettiest villages I have seen along the route. Watertown, R. Y., Sep. 5 - Tuesday. Spent the morning collecting in the Lowville and Watertown (= Bleda Run) north of the city. The Watertown area has to be most advantageous in a large pasture to the north of Watertown less than three miles out. Osmocerus is abundant here and Lomicrocerus rare (one specimen was seen about 8 inches across the aperture, and 8 inches long indicating a length of about 12 inches). We also saw an occasional bug endrocerus of an Endrocerus, Cystoecus, and Eurystmites. Of bachiopods Orthos triemaria O. subsquata, sericatus, R. alternata, R. microcerus, a simple

Bonirenes is found in Pamela, and in Leray, but not in Lowville. Here in the north the Lowville looks like the same formation farther south but no Bridsey's are developed. The small vertical crystalline filling are here but nothing of the large Bridseys.

Camarella and J. neurinista Bryozoa are common but not once preserved. Clumnaria was seen w/in two small specimens. Stetholasma Infundulum is common. A half mile further north in a quarry Fossils under my common, in the middle Senville. Hae cephelospots are rare, but saw some small Cithronus, and two specimens of Ormocerus tenuifilum. The commonest fossil is a Dithyomma new filitista, and Plectammites senicens. Other rachids are Q. tricrenata, J. neurinista, R. micrissima (Reymond says it occurs here), and I thought I saw R. minnesotensis. Balzamus extens and Butilus, Lepidida Bryozoa. Tetradun cellularum is common associated with Steno- matocerium and species of gastropoda. All in all the fauna is that of the Blue River and I don't if there is a break between the two for- mations. In the afternoon we went north to see Treston but did not see anything of note. The exposures are are smaller.

Watutown Sep. 6 - Wednesday. Spent morning chiefly about Watutown and at noon went to Clayton over the Thousand Islands (then in 1892). Set back at two o'clock. At Clayton there is still bedded rock on the islands. Here the strata are from bedded sandstone resting on joint granite. What age is cannot determined from the Thousand Islands report. Five miles out in themost all in granite. Watutown Sep. 7, Thursday. Left at 12:10 P.M. to Clayton to take the steamer for Toronto. Write Emma that should be at Phila Sunday 17. At Hamilton, Ontario Sep. '92. Had an hour at Clayton on the shore of Lake Ontario to see the basal strata on the granite. Thin and thick bedded free grained clear washed

Toronto Saturday Sep 9 1916 Took the train at 6 to North Toronto for Cataract to collect all day in the Cataract. Back at 9.30 P.M. Collecting was good as it now appears to have been around recently, but some good byssus and fireclay slabs in the uppermost Cataract. Most of my specimens come from the limestone series above the Whirlpool sandstone. Toronto Sunday Sep 10-1916 In the afternoon worked up the Shadow Creek in the Old Brick yards in Northeastern Toronto. About 100 feet in to the series; a blue shale series with thin beds (1 to 5") of arenaceous limestone and limy sandstone. More than 75% in shale. The thick reds are thrown out and on their surfaces we can see most of the fossils. The commonest fossil is a large form of I P. sericeus, Others are S. modesta, Byssopsichia radiata, Ord. modiolari, Whitearcina 2 or 3 species, Cyrtolites ornatus, Rusophychos fuscidens, On the

Shipped the Cataract box to Brimsby.

While the St. R. here is almost identical with the bratstrom area, Pieces of Iastulus are often seen. In the Royal Ontario Museum are some large specimens that to me indicated true species, the ordinary J. gigas and another one with shorter and rounder heads and tails. Toronto - Hamilton, Monday Sep. 11-1916 Shipped atop to Erinstry and left at 9.30 for Hamilton on C.P.R.R. Put up at a third rate hotel as the one I used to stop at is now built over into the greander hotel in Hamilton. Spent all afternoon looking over the Cataract-Aredina but collecting of fossils is almost impossible. The old quarries are all fenced over. What left comes from the upper portion or rather the Aredina and Cataract reaches the stone crusher belonging to the city

Hamilton Sep. 12-1916 Spear the morning at Dundas collectmg in the Cataract. I got only twoalve from the upper part - the true Oredina. The great lay-out I began of a few years ago is practically all gone. The section, however, shows as well as ever. In the afternoon moved to Grimsby and saw at the good Village Inn, the best country hotel I've seen in trip. Grimsby Sep. 13. Wednesday. Spear the morning in the Park coming down the mountain. Got but little of value. Arthrophyllus archionides is still once shown. Took a large piece somewhat mouthful that shows the jawlings in the tube very well. Took from photos at close range, six to ten feet.

Grimstey Sep. 14. Thursday. Spent the morning at Stone Creek, ten miles north here. Collecting was fairly good in the Cataract just above the Whirlpool sand- stone. The commonest forms are Pleurambrites, Dolonanella elegantula, Rhizophoria circularis, and especially a species of Chrestina. This latter appears at about ten feet above the sandstone and seems widely separated in the dolomite bands up to the first red dolo- mite that is ruffled with the tripleate lyggra. The Chrestina and Orthids are associated and make up regular dense conglomerate in these beds from 3 to 5 miles thick. In the afternoon Jacked the box and shifted it and the contents one via express to New Harren. The Whirlpool sandstone fits into the run-cracks of the Queenston, and is ruffled in smooth and at times irregular ripples. The shales at times also show truncy ripples about 3/8" from crest to crest. These truncy ripples should be looked into to get maximum depth = very shallow, probably less than 20 feet.

At Cataract, Dundas, Hamilton and Story Creek the upper horizon in the midst of the rd. bygro beds are characterised by small bivalves. The latter are also present at the same level at Niagara Falls so that they range geographically all the way from N. F to at least Cataract. Farther northwest more and limestone is developed and the bivalves drop out. An Althaea planocoxa holds the horizon gjust above the sandstone and has a range of not more than 15 feet. At times they look much like Ctypra reticulata and this is particularly true at Story Creek. Cornulites is especially common at Story Creek. Plectambonites is common only at Story Creek and Hamilton, and not or at the former place. Some day someone will get a large crinoid. The stems look almost like those of Mariacrinus. There are also other species of crinoids.

Jones at the Bennett quarries, The Natural History Society Have a fine collection of Pittsford eurypterids from Pittsford and Fairport, N.Y. Teller Collection is here and on exhibition. Minus the large Bennett Collection of eurypt- eridids. What has become of it? In the Bennett quarries paid most attention to the Chemung-Ormdaga contact. As a rule it is an undulating contact ranging between six inches but in places it is as much as eighteen inches. In most places there is an intercourse, carbonaceous, slightly sandy shale with scattered pieces of the Chemung and some iron pyrite. The Ormdaga limestone begins above with an abundance of fossils, mainly brachiopods and a fewif bivalve limestone. In places the basal Ormdaga may be sandy or conglomeratic, but as a rule there is none of the latter. Saw no fossil jowts in the Chemung.

Cincinnati Sep. 17. Sunday. Awoke at 7.15 A.M. Put up at the Dinton. Spent the day with the entire Johnschut family. Cincinnati Sep. 18. Monday. Spent the morning looking over the Mays- villes promotion before the Chicken Are and Clifton Are, via Cin. Univ. In the afternoon visited the Rock Art Museum and then the Railroad Petty shop I bought a Bloody Hair Rose ($124) and a flour dish (3.02). Had them shipped by Express. Spent the evening at Albat's in Norwood and to see Emma's home.

Cincinnati Sep. 19 Tuesday. In the morning visited the iron furnace at Ludlow. There is now good rain and much crowd. This locality is played out. Had lunch with Phil and Albert.

Letham, Ohio. Wednesday Sep 20. Collecting in the stream just north of the turn. In the first high bank about ten feet above the stream occur the R. fraeta beds a [illegible] lot (1). Also saw Byssonychia radiata, Heterinea demissa, C. senara, O. media, R. alternata paeta, in the association there is a bed of Ardiolypus, Byssonychia and Orthoceros. All is telur away R. lynx; loose specimens are here rolled down from above. In going up the stream through these 10 feet and perhaps 7 feet more one comes upon beds made up of R. paeta and not get typical R. ponderosa. Almost nothing else occurs with them, and in places they are matted together in mains ons by the shallow sea... Then for higher R. lynx begin to appear along with R. ponderosa and then all other forms are almost about gone or very preserved and not so common as the unrecognizate. G. modesta also to Germania, Hardy an O. sinuata. Bysozon are also rare. The same Orthoceros is here. Have two large Byssonychia with very coarse flieations. All of these are from a zone not more 4 feet thick. Lot (2) has rails from these spots and the 7 foot telur.

Besides what collected saw many Byssmochia (two species, the com. one has crasse plicatines), Ordov. lophosia, C. senaria, Qd. medi, O. sinuata ? (all in small packets, maybe returned), E. modesta (like three below) There is no evidence of open-cracking nor any evidence of sub-aerial kinds. The nature of sedimentation is the same throughout. the Orpordillian and Richmon- dian. At different levels saw indistinct large ripples and in the lowest layers the small ripples 3/8 inch apart.

There is probaly 16 fut one of Magovillian in which the Rafinoquinus abounds as before, but there no P. long. The Massoville formed terminate with the from [illegible] R. jendersons, then about 10 fut I shore with less abundant limestone bands, thus state to the Richmondian. There is certain of no physical break here though the water Magovillian deeper very shallow during later, and it would appear that the water is again becoming deeper with the today Richmondian fauna appearing. In these ten fut saw no direct evidence of Richmondian forms that I knew. The byzora only shows it. At the last visit got the Rich. beds near. These last 37 fut of Magovillian seem to show a shallowing of the water for most of the byzora and other forms cranick and the Rafinoquina take poss- ession of the whole sea way. Then finally the Platystrophic come in and almost kill off the Rafinoquina. Many are of the former are half shells and many of these are mud four room and etched; the white ones are in the position of growth, entroos down. With the arrival of Richmond time gradually the sea deepens and a new fauna arrives. There is no break in sedimentation.

Section on Germantown Pike about 1/2 mile East of National Soldiers Home Ground. On edge of scarpment of Miami river. Glacial drift 3 to 4 fat.

Contact with Richmondia not shown in the quarry, but a little down the road it may be seen. Contact by slope for direct parallels. The white is a shallow water deposit and shows more action than that. The fossils are almost rolled and the shells separates valves. The sea became shallower towards the close, seen in the shale horizon followed by the muddy limestones.

Left Dayton at 4 P.M. via trolley to Franklin then changed ours to Dayton. Arrived at about 6 P.M. Stopping at Bechel Hotel on Third street. Dayton Ohio Sep-21 Thursday. Arrived in the morning. Spent the morning at the National Soldiers Home. The old quarry here is so changed that hardly could find it. Got nothing. In the afternoon went over five miles to a quarry that proved to be in the Niagaraian. Got a few Penta- murus Magnos. Then walked back to the Nat. Soldiers Home ground to the south east side of it (beside the Sergeant Major's pile?) and on the edge of Silenium cresta of the Miami valley found a small road metal quarry in the Bransfield and got a lot of fossils. Will go back to it again tomorrow morning. 3426 37 C. E. Bratten R.F. 10, 15 Dayton O Local Collectors, Live near this quarry,

1917 August 4-1917, Saturday Left New Haven at 8 AM for New York to take the steamer for Portland, Maine. Arriving at the steamer ramp was told that all cabins had been sold out two days ago. Then determined to go via railway to Boston. Left New York at noon for Boston via Springfield. Arrived at 6.15 and put up at the Lenox Hotel. Had a good dinner here, walked around a little and retired at 9.30. August 5-7 Boston Sunday at Lyman Museum Monday at Cut Museum and then to Nahantsett Tuesday to Provincetown at the tip of Cap Cod. Are the girls here about is

Sand dunes, some to elevations from 100 ft. The topography is rugged of all kinds of rounded thirty hills. No farming, are fishing hereabouts. August 8, Wednesday Left in a fog at 9.45 for Portland where we are scheduled for 4 P.M. They won't make it. The steamer is densely crowded, mostly for Portland, but the boat goes on to Bangor. Arrived at about 5:30 P.M. Could not get in the Congress Square Hotel or four of at the Pubble - not a first class place. August 9. Thursday. Portland. At 9.15 in a little steamer - the Tourist - started to see the islands of Casco Bay. A fog is on and I hoped it would clear away but it did not drop until late in the afternoon. Saw little of the bay.

At Burnet had a shore dinner and then by launch to New Meadows where I left back to Portland via Brunswick and Jarmouth. From Jarmouth in the ride is fine all along the shore of the bay. Then on to Cape Cottage = Cape Elizabeth where I had dinner. After Place built by the trolley line, August 20. Portland. Friday It is raining, and for all day. Cleared up in the afternoon. Went to Oak Orchard Beach. Aug. 11. Portland. Saturday Took another trip in Casco Bay. This time to Harpswell Center. Fine day and a beautiful ride in quiet water. Had dinner again at Cape Cottage.

August 7 1920. Left New Haven this morning and got to Lenox Hotel by 5 P.M. Raymond Reginald called and we had dinner together. August 8-1920. Reginald called with his machine and at 9.30 A.M. we are off to visit Plymouth, We went by way of Quincy, Charlestown, Marsh-field, Newbury, Kingston to Plymouth. The rock itself at Plymouth on which the Pilgrim Fathers are said to have landed is a small granite eratic and today probably weighs less than 5 tons. In front of the rocks are the docks (2) also small affairs. There is nothing special about Plymouth. The monument to the Pilgrim Fathers is an old monument and not modernity. The four relief carving in carriage marble are the feet of the monument and 2 of them are very fine. The monument stands on the highest sand dune.

August 9 - 1920 Called on Raymond at Starrad early 9.30 we are on our way to see the Rhyn- chomella locality in the Newbury volcanic complex. The place is on a side turn pike and comes when the Newbury post toll line leaves the Newbury post pike and turns east. The fossiliferan layer is not over 4 inches thick and is now much deformed and even small contorted. Seen number of the Rhynchomella. Locality is 3 miles south of Rowley and is described in Emerson's Bull 197 U.S. G.P., p. 163. We then went to the Cyprian Mining Road locality some 3 miles south of Danvers and Grafton. Here in lone direction got a few Leporiditas, They are said to near L. alta, at the horizon is thought To be late Silurian. Lava flows an close associated. There is also much laminated blue clay or flint with metasedimented Shale.

August 10-1920 Tuesday. Started out at 9.30 A.M., for Anbury Crylamte ate in the Frank Hill Cemetery. Sayles Locality no 6 of Joplin of 1914. As described by Jales in page 147. Many of the larger pebbles are very glacial striated due to stick-siding. These however need not be mistaken for the actual glacial striation. No [illegible] have been found here. Have a piece of the crylamate and several pebbles, to show faulting and indenting by other pebbles. This crylamate is supposed to be the equivalent of the Sguantum tillite, the lower crylamate. Then we went on to Sguantum Head Locality no 13 of Mr Sayles. As described in page 157- Collected some of the purple and pink clasts to show faulting = annual layers. Then went on Sguantum South-East creek where the tillite is better seen but not so good as at the Head. There the layering is finer and more regular and within annular diagrams.

"Had lunch at Quiney on Raymond Creek. Then m to the old Braintree quarry it's now practically gone, as the old sea way or more faded in with bay mud to make newly from ship yard ground of the Bethlehem Steel Co. The lagoons for which most of the wildlife came are now beneath the sand. We then called on Mr. Hayward the son of the man who used to operate the small Braintree quarry. He had about 100 pounds of Paradaxids and I bought $ for 50 cents. I might be worth while to buy all he has for #15-- and have them shipped in to sale. There is nothing striking in the lot but it might pay to get it done to build up one collection. On August 18-1920 went back to see if measure, but all is or from that I did nothing a single thing. Then to a small encamp on Pearl Street North Deymouth to see the Lawn Combines, Lawson farms. One must quarry here to get them.

"August 12-1920 Thursday. Started off with Prof. Raymond in his car in Managansett Bay; from Boston we went to Dedham, Norwood, Walpole. Then we saw the basal part of the Cant. series, the Pondville Cryl. Rather a much squeezed cryl. Got one drawn out and indented pettite. Then on to Greentham, Plainville and North Attleboro. On near the granite we saw the Lower Cambrian red shale with li, all much squeezed and crumpled. Saw no jmis over there; 23 speci are regarded for here. Then into Pawtucket. Smith's Particulars we saw the lower red transmittal crygmite and Providence where we had lunch. ^ Then to Warren and Bristol were we boarded a Ferry to the North Portsmouth coal mine. A pettite pit here and tremendous culm pits. The coal has are been sheered and compressed and in one place a graphite the an anthra- cite. The shale is also much mudd but hardly enough to make it a slate. Ferns are scarce and most are of no value. I saw

nly 3 forms of Calamites and no Lepidodendrons. May have seen 10 species of plants. All in all the locality is interesting because of what it teaches in this much explored region. We then moved on to Tiverton where we put up for the night at the Riverside Inn. In the morning we go to New York. Near Belford or in the grounds of the U.S. Hospital for consumption soldiers (it is here that Prof. Goodrich sends his students to work out the succession) there is granite exposed. On it follows the Cambrian, succession then a fresh an androca, then shale, followed by sandstones and conglomerates. All within a thickness of 200 feet. All of these are highly schistose with the schistosity nearly parallel while the bedding is at low angles.

August 13-1920 Friday. A dark-foggy morning and before I got to New- York it came hard and big. After seeing something of the fireworks we went to East Point to see the Penjator Cliffs. Fine clean refrains along the sea front. Here are the jetties and boulders are much drawn out, usually thicker in the center with the abs drawn out and often into sharp edges. The boulders often have lengths of 3 feet and 1 foot thick. Done on layer. The jetties and boulders are as a rule for white quartzite and a milky white other stone probably also a quartzite. The cement is a coarse greenish sandstone. At times there is much greenish sandy shale and it draws out most. All of the boul- ders have some kind of slicken siding and where there is much sand cement the whole looks in the appearance of a schist. There are also dark or blue-black fine sandy shale pieces. Saw no granite or schist. Second time I thought I saw Perlitus and near edges of martialite brochi forms. Ray- mond found two boulders with lignites, and these

Here. The Perjatay conglomerate is held to be the same as the Dighton conglomerate, the terminal member of the Pennsylvanian. As no bedding is to be seen here it may be that the deposit is here also a lithite. The stretched condition of the rocks of course makes it look very different from a till. There is however almost no stratification to be seen. He then continued back to Fitchburg, near River to Driscoll's to see some Dighton conglomerate. Here it is far less squeezed than at Ashputt but more than at Fresh Hill Cemetery. At Driscoll's we also saw what I consider showing that the dip was about 45 degrees or more. Considerable solidification is developed here. Then on to Worcester, Dighton, Taunton, Randolph where the forces are made upon joint fill and coarse sandstone. These are the basal beds flanking the south side of the Blue Hills. In color they remind of the iron outcrops but are by no means so red, nor is there any quartz here.

Then through to the Blue Hills and returned to Boston. August 17 - 1920, Middleboro, Mass. Called on Mrs. Maria L.C. Winslow to tank her for selling sale the Winslow Collection. She is now a very old maid but of a refined and pleasing nature. The house is full of colonial furniture and things as she is a direct descendant of Brown Winslow who came to America in the Mayflower. She presents me with a fine topa cloth made in Oarna, she purchased it in Honu lulu in 1897 when she returned to visit the islands. She was born there as Dr. Winslow lived in Hawaii for about two years.

Fare Am Ware to Bretton Roads 10.41 Lunch in cars 1.80 Brand at Mount Pleasant Hotel. 7.00

Monday September 13-1920 White Mts. Left New Haven for Bretton Woods at 10:47 A.M. and got there at 8 P.M. It was a warm sunny day at New Haven but as we approached the region of the White Mts. it clouded up and was raining before we got to Bretton Woods. The mold was cold and over, death with no moun- tain crisitle. Out of the Mount Pleasant with the rate $8.00 per day. Even so I can of stay one night because tomorrow there is a convention here and the house is run full. It's a fine summer hotel but too expensive for a university person. Tuesday September 14-1920 Bretton Woods. It is still raining this morning. The view from the hotel is fine - an artificial prepared in the midst of low wooded hills. The Presidential range is not in sight. I will have to leave tomorrow at because the rate at the Mount Washington is the highest in the White Mts.

In the morning moved over to Crawfords 31/2 miles southeast. Will stay here one week, Rate $1.09 - @ 7.00 Walked in the morning about 2 1/2 miles sort on road down Crawford's Hotel, misting all the time and one can not see further than 1500 feet. Saw some grey- gneiss, The granites are very irregular in texture and mineral composition; many quartz dikes. In the afternoon walked south on Boston and Main R.R. about 2 3/4 miles. If the day had been clear I would have had a fine view of it outside \ \ felt Crawford's Hotel rally, but have to try again. At the section house about 2 miles east of Crawfords can be seen much dark-green gneiss. It stands on end. Several bedding planes showed something like large freezing cracks -- hardly saw cracks. Can there be min- eralizations due to metamorphism? These beds might yield fossils if one could get large surfaces, What is the age? Certain older than Upper Devonian. At the Hotel in the evening grand display of beer baths and lips. Best time for society and what it comes here for. A good time -- no intellectual efforts!

Sep. 15 - 1920 Wednesday. In the morning walked out to Briston Brooks and sat in a while on the porch of the great Mount Bath- ington Hotel. What a great hotel this is, and what lux- ury can be had here. They house one 600 people and more for than eleven dollars per day. A New Yorker built it for two million dollars and what a nice it has a direct. One can have a fine view of the Presidential Range when it is not covered by mist. But this morning. The view up the valley is clear sweeping and at the crotch one sees the Crawford House. Walked back out to the Crawford House at 1:45. Since then the morning walked nine miles. After dinner the sun began to pop through the mist and by 3 P.M. all is clear. Tried hard to get a view of the Presidential Range along the railway out to Briston Brooks but failed to see more than here and then a coat try through the forest.

Thursday September 16. Mt. Washington. At seven this morning the sun is out fine and there are but few clouds in the sky; I conclude to g to the top of Mt. Washington. At 8 A.M. clouds hang low to the southeast of Crawford but they melt away toward Mt. Washington. At 8.30 I begin to walk to Bretton Woods and by the time I get there an hour later there are considerable clouds. Now I conclude to risk it since the clouds are thin and must be clear. We start from Bretton Woods at 10.13 in an open car with iron fence wood railway chain. This first part of the ascent is fairly gentle and for some miles we go to the "Base Station" at the base of the mountain. Here we change cars to a tiny locomotive with one car that runs on a very curve rail. The locomotive is behind and just for the cars to get. At Base we are 2570 feet above sea and we are to 6296 feet. For description of ascent see folder. We had no view from at the top and fairly northy beyond 15 miles could be plainly made out. The morn in-

teresting feature was to look down 10,000 feet from upon the filling sea of silver clouds. By me relief the top begins to come in mist and by time it rains. The mountain is not made up of granite but rather greisen and pegmatitic rocks, rather of a highly micaceous greisen. Banding is very decided and ohm, plainly in the northeast surface, see the fine rock samples. Alpine flowers are still to be had. There were plenty of sandwort (Arenaria picea lundica) and a few hours of hot sun would have shown more. From 1 second species in the dominant vegetation. The rocks are all green with a thin pungus growth. Felt the altitude but little, just a little dizziness but it did not last. Climbing made me speak some for lunch. Left Botten Brook by 3.45. Here I waited return for train to Crawfords. Still still showing.

It rained last night on Mt Washington and its off white today. Sep. 17. Friday. Crawford Notch. Mt Washington is covered with snow. It has rained all the night and rained hard, then I went tired at 9.30 the sky once a little with stars. The morning it is cold, windy and quite heavy showers. At 10.30 in a light rain started out for Mount (elevation 2786') Wild and to look down the face lying south of Crawford Notch and far beyond to Mt Chocorua. At first the rain had cleared up and I walked with thin mists towards Base. Had several fine views by highest of the Presidential Range are now around great parts of the Cannon mountain Valley and the three large Notches. But say that is a fine excursion with most of the clouds gone. It promises clearer for tomorrow. If all goes well I will attempt the Crawford path 8½ miles to the top of Mt Washington. The night is clear cold and starry, the wind by means let down. It looks good for a clear day tomorrow and a long view of the mountain. Sep. 18. Saturday. Mt Clinton. Looked out the window at 6 A.M. and found heavy snows forming in the north about Mt Washington. Looked again

at 6.30 and saw them still forming. Last of at 7 and after breakfast concluded to get on the Crawford trail to see what I might see or the top of Mt Clinton. At 8 A.M. Jane at the beginning of Crawford trail 8\1/2 The trail was built in 1819. miles to the top of Mt Washington trail. I see no one for the first half mile but before I get to the first mile sign direct from over of the hotel - cell between 30 and 40 years ago. He is to follow. At 8.30 we are at the first mile sign. So far the trail is wide and easy. Then it narrows and steps. We made the first mile of the ascent in a half dose. The sign 1\1/2 miles are attained at 9 so that this 1/2 mile took us long as the previous mile. Between the two signs I saw some glacial stones going directly down the trail. The Original Spring Camp sign are found at 9.20. The 2 mile sign at 9.25 and the 2\1/2 miles one at 9.45. But to the summit of Mt Clinton or up 3\1/4 miles at 10.8 m. Carey 4270 ft. We are now out of the forest and on an Alpine me, but clear me the wind from a pole, it is cold and the clouds anchor a few hundred feet above us. Mt Pleasant to the north is playing like sea, but Mt Washington (6298) in all with clouds. To the south was a fair long distant view as far as Mt Chocorua. As then over no use to soon

"further I turned down the trail at 10.15 and was at the hotel at 11.00. It took me 1/2 hour to climb from 1900 feet to 4275 feet (=2375') but only 3/4 hour to come down. Even this little climb made me feel that I had best not go up to the top of Mt. Dronkington. Still if I have a fine clear day ahead of me I will assail the trail once more. At 6 P.M. it rained again. Glory six days in the White Park it has rained me 5. One day has been a cloudless one, Thursday was the best one, and that one was used in fear of Mt. Dronkington. Sunday Sep. 19-1920 Driley House. Walked 3 miles south to Driley House disaster. This occurred on Aug. 28-1826 and to-day one sees no evidence of the slide. All is green now. All along the western side of the Grand Otol valley one sees the evidence of former slides and along the road below, the rocks that have come down. Most of these are of a dark-blue sandy-sandstone somewhat meta-morphosed. Its most interesting feature is the n-

gular tendency. In most cases the bands are \frac{1}{2} in thick but at times about 3\frac{1}{4} to \frac{1}{2} and thicker. Always a crumple and firm band in alternation. These are so regular and look so much like the Squawtown banded slate that they appeared to me to be of glacial origin. Their age, however, is probably not so young as Permian, rather Devonian or older. In places one also sees the crumpling and faulting of the banded Phyllite as at Squawtown and elsewhere. It in those phyllites that lay on the western side of the notch valley and as they dip into the valley they are found to hide down very low and then. They can be studied both along the road between one and two miles south of Cranford Notch. See the small samples taken along. Monday, Sep. 20 - 1920 Mt Willard Climbed Mt Willard at Cranford Notch. Started in at 1890 and at the top it is 2786 feet above sea. The day is clear with but little wind. I had a fine view of the Presidential

Range. All are now snow covered, even Mt Clinton is some- what white. Made the climb easily in 25 minutes, and came down in 20 minutes. In the afternoon walked on the road towards Base to Bear Brook Bridal Trail about 2 miles North and then east on the trail to Mount Washington Hotel. Left at 2 P.M., entered the trail at 2:35 and came out on a road at 3:15. Then across the golf links to the Hotel at 3:45. To the Kaw Trull at 5:45. This was the first clear day, and it was plain to see the mountains. All stood out clear and sharp. At 5:45 the sun in setting broke through the clouds and illuminated the Presidential Range. Finally off the snow covered summit of Mt Washington was illuminated against the blue sky. It was a fine sight and we were not forgetful. A cold but not too cold day to walk around.

doc.112 CRAWFORD HOUSE CRAWFORD NOTCH WHITE MTS. NEW HAMPSHIRE Tuesday, Sep. 21 1920 A perfect day; even one or than yesterday. Out and in the city. Concluded to climb and to go for a bit. Pleasant. Left the hotel at 8.10 A.M. to go on the Crawford trail first opened by Crawford in 1819. At 8.45 came passing the one mile post, and 9.10 the 1½ mile post. I find it easier going today than I did Saturday. At 9.25 I left behind me the trail to the Mijah Camp, and 9.30 the two mile sign. Up the Step Ladder at 9.45 and at Mt. Clinton at 10.05. I am now about an altitude of 4375 feet. During the last 500 feet there several times seen ice. Everywhere the mountains stand out clearly and in every direction for miles upon miles there is a sea of mountains and peaks. At 10.00 I start for Mt Pleasant and get to the top at 11.15. The altitude is 4775. On my way another climber overtakes me and he is evidently bound for Mt Washington. This mountain now looms large to the north and the Summit House, the Appalachian House and the railway are all clearly to be seen. There is a little of snow and ice on the upper 700 feet of Mt Washington. There are no bushes or trees on Mt Pleasant nor for several hundred feet down its upper sides. Very little grass but considerable alpine dicotyledons.

Left Mt. Pleasant at 11.30 and Mt Clinton at 12.05. Back at the hotel at 7.10. I now know that I can climb up to Mt. Wash- ington. Next year after a little training I will try to this, while the Lemnit House is still open, and then stay one night so that I may see some rise. In about three hours time I climbed at least 2875 feet, but as we go down here nearly 500 between Mt Clinton and Mt. Pleasant it is evident that I climbed over 3300 feet in this time and over about 4 1/2 = 9 miles. In going to Mt Washington one does not climb on Mt Pleasant but goes to the East side. There is a long once a low steady ascent all the way from near Mt Clinton passed out Franklin and Mt. Monroe. Then one is at the base of Mt Washington or about 1200 feet, over a elbow up to the highest point in the White Mts at 6296. This climb drives scale next year. I must also then make a collection of Alpine flora. This may be interesting now. Everywhere the rocks are variable granites, with innumerable pegmatite dikes and here and there then vein-quartz veins. There is also some mica-schist and inclusions in the granite. The granite is by no means regular in grain and at times becomes almost wholly quartz. It's a very irregular granite and seemingly must be near the roof of its intrusion. I saw no evidence of sedimentaries.

2 CRAWFORD HOUSE CRAWFORD NOTCH WHITE MTS. NEW HAMPSHIRE September 21 of 1920 (continued). At 4.30 climbed Mt Willard in 45 minutes to see the last of the day. Stayed on top until 5.50 and then walked down the mountain in 22 minutes. It is a wonderful sight from this elevation to see the night coming on and the fine change of colors as the sun sets over climb higher into the skies leaving the earth in darkened flow of gold. The shadows between the mountains, are a dark green-blue while above all the peaks there is a dark zone having a straight horizontal line. Above the latter come the tints of the rain-bows gradually shading off into the blue of the sky. A few fleecy clouds are over head and these change from a brilliant silvery color to pink. High in the sky and almost over the center of the notch stands the half moon with its brilliant silvery face looking down upon the descending sun! Farther to the east is the evening star. When I got to the hotel it was not yet dark and facing the mountains and fair Luna I

day of January to the White Mountains, and bid them good bye until September 1921. Sep. 22-1920 Left at 7.30 C.M. for New Haven. Lots of small dells about Tann Mountain. Bethlehem Junction is the place to change cars for Bethlehem and Profile House. Brig Road is another junction for places to the North and West of East Frankinton.
