Tuesday June 7-1910. Around Delingsine Left Loris Town on a local at 7.13 A.M. for Delingsjove Junction. This on the buesque- hannot from Delingsjove. First worked south along the railroad and came across a series of siliceous limestones interbedded with some [illegible] layers, in which are gathered Styliolina fuscella, Ambrocelia, Leptrocoelia flabellitis, Cathaerda, and [illegible]. Have taken there. Begun from about the upper soft. Then walked south to a place 1/2 mile below the Junc- tion where there is a cut in cavernous limestones. On the south surface on the west side of the cut may be seen a fair abundance of Chonetes opistali, Picipidolites casinota [illegible], Leptrothyria perplana [cray], Spirifera sculptilis cray and S. mediaalis. The dip of all these beds is to the N.N.E. from the Junction with a gentle amount of dip. The thickness is very great. I began first the Marcellus away some distance from the Grand gaps dips at about 45 degrees but due to weathering gives the impression of standing on edge. Here as elsewhere the lower Marcellus has calcareous concretions, some 6 feet long by 12 inches thick and then in low sulfur [in pyrite] or decomposition
