"Friday June 10 - 1910 Schenectady. Set off at 6.30 A.M., failed two boxes of fossils and had them shipped by express. Off for Schenectady in the Delaware and Hudson at 10 A.M. Which was to go on the train after having seen Charles but at 9.30 he had not yet had breakfast. Will come on the 2 P.M. A good man for promises and talk about his farm! Saw the Parrott House at Schenectady at 11.45 A.M. Spent the afternoon along the escarpment east of the village. In the old abandoned Brown quarry beneath the road from the Post Office saw the s-flat 4" of Cobble's Hill. Fossils are too poor to be of value. Just above in the basal 10 meters = Staurou E, s.t. Spirifer ericetensis, C. litophyllum, C. lamellata, Whitfieldella. Just above in E2 and E3 small glitular masses of Furosite. At the bottom of E3 - there is a Stomatopora reef about 6 inches thick. All of these E are of the Rondout, here 10' 4" thick. Total for Rondout (81 above) 24' Above in the Merlinus Series have about us of Pentaculity.
