"My beds of this section, Th. clns 63 feet (Mills meas.) At the base of this grey oolite Spirifer ericenses, S. coralliensis, Rhyn. lamellosa, R. formosa (large). Three feet above Sp. vanuxiensis. Heavy leaded grey hard limestone. The top of the Tondlaway. This is the Calver oolite as seen at Hollidays- town. Further below the beds are thinner bedded and look more like the regular Tondlaway, About so far seen. The contact is not very irregular and no one would detect it except on the evidence of the fossils. On my trip of 1901 got in the lower Tondlaway seg- ments of Eurypfiterus. This section is most valuable for the fossiliferous zones in the lower oolite. As far as it is the best section for this or any other zone, The fossils are however hard to get good. The Everett section is much large down wave but has no fossils. Left the Junction at 4.20 P.M. Laid one hour at Bentley. Then on to Danville. Stopping at the Montour House, a good hotel.
