"gray" run the hills to the Clinton road gives a thickness of about 320 feet. Magnetic declination at Johnson's Hill, has changed since last year from the Clayton quadrangle. See for horizon. Left Regan at 12, 15 P.M. for Pinto a Petro-mae. The Clinton hills are to the east of the Cement mill, considerably lower. Began in Clinton just north of abandoned cement mill. At the base here saw Begrichia lata, Chorotis cornuta, Amphisthen hemispherica. 25 feet higher the Chorotis is larger but is initially the same species. Ten feet higher Paralogopterus clintonensis, about here a fine lined Phychromella, Begrichia lata and Ceranium. The same fossils go up to the two foot sandstone above which shortly comes in the thin bedded limestone between the limestone. Which says a new fauna here and probably Orchistom Amphisthen hemispherica. Begrichia lata? have only five. Have a collection of these Prolecanthus fossils from near small the hill, this time. Beginning again at the base of the Clinton over by the Cement Mill one can trace the loose slabs are divided into hard sandy or clay layers of a very light purple color lying the fossil stratum above. Which was hard to estimate
