Sunday June 5-1910 Everett, Pa.
Left Cumberland Md at 7.20 on the Broad Top
and Huntington railway for Everett, Pa.
In a lime quarry on the outskirts of the
village and near the bridge crossing the south branch
of the Juniata one sees a long section of cobby li,

from about 53° at the top to about 20-0 below. In a
rough way I calculate the thickness to be about
200 ft seen. At the top there is foot of
cobby li that have in the lower York Chonetes gen-
seensis, Spirina reticulata, S. modestus? Atrypa
reticularis, Phoriastella sp. small ? inch long, Rhiz-

Prismatophyllum (Cenolaria), Stictospora ?/4
ind. in diameter. Stromatopora large Platyceras
(like a new Diaphorostoma rathieri), Forams
praececors.
About half way down in the section a single
Stromatopora was found.
The lower 100 feet are more cobby than the
upper limestone which are very dense and concri-
