Norton, N.Y. April 30-1910 Frankful and I started away in the day at 7 A.M. The morning is dark and damp from last nights rain. walked north to Glenerie and on the way first came across the Onndaga: Lamy A. reticularis, L. rhomboidalis, Pentamerella crata, one a once small cut crabs, Dalmanites the descendant of D. plumopterus. At Glenerie between the lower falls of the Eorpus and the ridge on the left side of the river maybe seen the Glenerie formation to good advantage. In the upper 15 feet the fossils occur in great abundance. It's a Hurst avencarius lime- stone, in beds from 6 to 12 inches in which the fauna is essentially one of brachiopods and Diaphanostera. Hardly a single BrachioPod has lost valves and the large specimens are star umbonal areas. All have been crusted together in a shallower sea. Rarely one sees a large omm of a Pecti californoid. The commonest fossils are Spirifer intermedius ( smaller than Cumberland specimens), Leptocrania Platellita (very large), Spirifer aureosus, Beachia Lunana. One also sees Russellaria cricida

Chynchnella pleioleura, Tentaculites elongatus, Leptrevecia and bifurcated plications. The fossils are originally calcareous but in weathering become pseudomorphs just like the Centrolene fossils. The Glenerie passes over the head into the Esopus grit layer of not less than 400 feet thick- ess. Contact with the Onondaga was not seen. The farther east folds, the one in Rondout, is broken and southward, the next one to the N is sharply dipping to the NE and gently to the E. Thus the next one over is in places a sharp anticline and in other places its southern limb jitches stuff to the NE. Coming across the enormous ridge of Esopus grit on the west of Esopus Creek one sees the Esopus on the top of the belt gradually change into the chloritic Onondaga. These beds are more calcareous than the Esopus and has a few scattering fossils. Most of them I could not make out but saw Atrypa reticularis, Lep. chombridalis? Strophodonta perplana? Strophodonta one of the Polycharic grit forms. These beds are said

The 40 foot thick fall near by the chute and a decide limestone Onondaga having a thickness of 30 feet. These higher beds we did not see except from the Mt. Marion station and on the train going back to Kingston, It is the Corniferous that makes the upper and middle falls in the Esopus Creek while the lower or small fall is on the top of the Onondaga.

May 17 910 Spent the morning in the Kimpton cement quarries and saw the crathrusting and faulted sections. There is a fold on the sharp lastly dip to vertical and across the top a thrust plane repeating the beds apparently four times. The most important feature observed this morning was the Cornish conglomerate at the base of the Old Red, that is the Gleneric, or at the top of the Port Ewen. This conglomerate in place is said to be 20 feet thick and what it consists of quartz pebbles distinctly rounded from 1/8 inch to 3/8 inch with occasional pebbles of a dextral hermitic multi-well-pronounced. This conglomerate zone is a very important one as it must indicate a new invasion and maybe have its connection with the upper Ordovician of Albany Group. Furthermore are beneath this conglomerate zone should go into the Silurian begin. This needs to be looked into. Lee Chadwick's paper is divine.

The Binnewater is a greyish thin-bedded sandstone. The High Falls passes, turns into yellow and then reddish sandy slates are sandstone thin-bedded. This gneissy rim-sprits are common. Some gray of material like material is encountered. The High Falls falls downward and become more and more red shaded with the true Galacia. Considerable thin-bedded stratum, some 20 ft thick to about 10 ft thick, and then the red Galacia slides. The Chavan quartz at the top is a heavy reddish conglomeratic-quartzite. It in crosses at the top are lens of conglomerate traverses the latter (Buxley), thin a white conglomeratic quartz pebbles, some of them 1 to 2 inch diameter. There are irregular layers of conglomerate with orange-red sand. The latter are apt to be cross-bedded. Considerable uneven action of a irregular anastomizing action. The Chavan quartz here has a thickness of 200 feet, save the upper 25 foot or so and are all conglomeratic. The material is dense, a true quartz grit with green pebbles. Much of the

material is very fine, a sandy silt, causing the rock To divide and clear folded. My hand under the lamina. Five miles north of High Falls the 200 foot of Harrangunk has thinned to about 10 feet (but maybe) We see here therefore a decidedly increased slope of the old sea floor and a much flatter slope from Crompton to Albany. South from High Falls to Pottersville the slope is also slight for the increased thickness is not so great as between High Falls and 5 miles to the north. In the Otisville Harrangunk Reedmann has many sparse Enigpuni, many but 1 millimeter in length. Also larger size and few segments lengths of 5 feet are indicated. These are Stylurus. Bechus nectonatus is only in that the larger legs are in front with the shorter one in the rear.

May 2-1916 This morning ore all went to the Askan dam about 20 miles out th Rondout ralley on the Ontario and north western. The dam is in the Upper Hamilton or the Herkimer Flaps. No marine forms are seen here but ore did see their stems of Lepidodendron and Psilophyta fragnents. At a lower level Rudeman saw long spriged Spirifer aureus. The Herkimer Flaps are greenish leavy folded impure fine grained sandstones that on breathering show the mud cross-bedded as their beds of pits ore there sheets. Such material of course would not furnish the flagstone of commerce. On this excursion gotten up by A.J.Coad, Severa Sprotan and Derby had many of their students. Johnston & Stanford was here. Also Rude- mann, Hartungfel, Millin & Zehi?, Besom, Franckfel, Ivry, Kurtz and J. Hyde of Ohio were present one of Sprotan students.

on the road to Port Jervis Fort t three miles south of Secund are seen the red rocks of the Shipl Falls Slate. A mile further the old quarry party. Shawangunk in full face at Havan- fried. May 3-1910 Left Port Jervis at 7 A.M. for the Bear's no quarries. Took the road on the western side of Halfmoon ridge and then climbed over to the quarries on the eastern side of the ridge. On going over the ridge are climbed up over a steep slope of white quartzite that are taken from Shawangunk. Then are got to the top are some came upon Esopus, and then the Lower Oriskany Rensselaer aquicagidicta beds. That this quartzite is over the Esopus does not know. It should known go into the Oriskany as over it comes the Onondaga. Its thickness so far as we could see was not one 20 t, 25 feet thick, if or thier. The Heldeteryian is not were exposed here.

On the top of the ridge at the house of Mr. Delmas once be seen the Lower Ordinary, The Trailrite ledge is back this little farm in a small hog-back. It is here that Mr. Delima traded on 2 summer trips. Beyond to the east is the higher Eastmans ridge.

May 4 - 1910 Started out at 7 A.M. for Otterville. Walked 14 miles by 3:45 P.M. Then to New York and Andover. Walked along the standard cannot get to Hugheston. Here is a summit called The Hugestot. Outcrops of Mar- celles at several places. Fossils very scant and good due to cleavage. As Hugestone took to the turn-pike that is close to the western ridge and followed it to Roses Point, there is a fine section where one sees the Hamilton. Rice gives the thickness as 1400 feet and the Marcellus as 875 feet. By following westward along the N.Y. C. & W. R.R. one can see the chemistry. Left on the same road to Cuddeback- ville where we had dinner at the Cudi- bach Inn, a good place to stay at. From here it is less than one mile to the first outcrop of Escopus. To go over the ridge one can go over the old road or the new State Road. Along the latter there is an

"3088" Monday May 30 - 1910 New Haven, Connecticut. Started for Washington D.C at 12.15 P.M. to meet Ulrich and a ten days discussion to determine the Siluro- Devonian boundary for the Appalachian region. June 4 -> 90 Took a room at the Metropolitan. Tuesday May 31 - 910. Washington, D.C. Ulrich is now finishing his memoir on the American Paleozoic. Expects to send it to the B. J. A next month but it will be July 15th. His theoretic views are rapidly changing to extreme ones and it seems to me in the wrong direction. The following are some of these: (1) Evolution of faunas takes place in the oceanic areas and hardly any of it in the Continental seas. In the latter seas are the faunas and species are "ready made" migrants from the oceanic areas,

(2) Does not believe in any wide spread Tertiary and Biguaran seas. In the former he says there are several emergences and submergences. He has now come to the view that the changes of faunas seen in continuous sections are a series of migrations (submergences) broken by times of non deposition (emergences). He therefore now holds that there are far more emergences than one thinks for and further that it is but nearly that the orities of the four oceanic sides were connected and eremingly. For instance while the Louisville deposits are forming then in arctic invasion and when the latter sea is at hand then there is ar Gulf invasion. In other words land oceans sea, are alternate elevation of one and then the other end if the continents.

[D.B.B. - Devils Back Bone] Thursday June 2-1910 Left Martinsburg at 6.30 A.M. for Great Cacapon. Crossed over the Potomac to the Maryland side. The first in the study involved up on Crisling with many Spirifera arenaria. The base of the Crisling here seems to be derive of the black chert nature as at Cumberland but in a finer sandstone than at the M.C. The fossils also are scarce. Thickness estimated at 35-4 feet at 12 depth. Then follows helps a whitish mottled oilgreen shale and brown decidus chert bands with Spirifer incrustulens, Lap chebrideli, Estoma medali, more Lap Kobelti? Strigoderma welleri etc. Thickness less than 30 feet and probably means 25 feet. Together about 27 feet.

The Latman series here west of Lorus Leap sand mill is very much like that at Pinto and consists of mud and thin limestone now eroded in places interspersed with the lens of arg. li., flour li., rarely an oolite as once nearly still a sandstone zone. In the lower portion about the equivalent of the Cement beds there is more sandstone given than at Pinto and rather here suggests Cement beds. Here are the two outcrops, Rhyne = a Rhyne to medium Beltor the above are still other beds of the Salinian that had referred to the Niogaran. These beds do not have large Lepidolithia and one zone of sandstone is very thick about 25 feet thick known as the Keeper member. In it is a dark shale and the reddish sandstone having Strophomenella. The Cement series here begins with the red sandstones of prominent developments and last of Tolonaway. In the Cement beds the large Lepidolithia appears and an abundance of ostracodes. The crinoid list this year's east of the Hancock sand mill occurs in the Creynans dam at least 50 feet from top.

3088 Friday June 3-7910. Kezer-Pint. Left Cumberland at 7 A.M. fn Twenty-first Bridge, West Virginia Between the New Scotland shale and the Hackberry Lower Ordovay then in a reddist blenformed gne asblt 6 miles thick. Hardly known a residua earth. The 90 feet of Lower Ordovay might as once be con- tinued fn another 80 feet before the more sande Upper Ordovay appears. These lower 80 feet are fluised in color while the Upper Ordovay is decidedly one candy and yellowish in color. The next 16 feet have four prints above which the abundant upper Orilly [is maytids] print make their appearance. Then 12x feet to top of Ordovay. The beds became more sandy and finally conglomerate. 124 16 80 90 { 220' against my 25 8' of fourth studied section My former section sum 348 feet. 310 feet fn the entire Ordovay. Kezer Quarries, West Virginia. The contact between the Cofly [basal Marbles] beds and the even bedded (Tondelway) is now well exposed here. The contact is abrupt between the two series and the basal bed of the COFFLY is somewhat brecciated conglomerate. The parts are thin and flat and of the

Decomposed Hack shant. Upon New Jersey shale, treated. Macrpleura Chuty Limestone. Cozy mans limestone. Residary Clay In the Pinto section these beds are much thicker, being at least (See my drawings later.)

"See anything in the way of a discordancy here but the striking difference in the lithology and fauna of the two series brings to mind [illegible] material. Ordinarily one would not expect to find it in this position. The contact between the chalk near Failand is also now easily seen. The shale beds are somewhat truncated, and the residual beds of the decomposed flints of the Oolite, at the base of the Oolite and then where a reddish zone abuts on the shale beds. The transition from the cherty oyster limestone beds is gradual. The thickness of the shale here is not more 15 feet. Which says 12 feet. At 21st of Bridger beneath the oyster limestone there is a distinct residual clay from an inch to 18 inches thick. Before this red clay the oyster limestone has a base a thickness of 26 feet joining into the flint shale above. Below the residual clay is the heavy bedded Creymans limestone that in places still shows slight channeling due to the decomposition. Where the residual clay is thicker than the top is irregular and even away into which the bottom of the oyster limestone beds fit. Where the clay is thinnest then the contact of the two limestones is regular. The many forams I got are about 300 feet below the contact on the chalk limestone. Characterized by Rhynchomella lamellosa, Rhyncophora, Alveorina and abundant P. Byrsa. These made the base here of the Torclawcy. Which says the cement beds follows in.

The Clinton co kids have Androtheca hemiotheria, Aegrichia lata and Orthronus.

"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

The Upper Clinton over of the Cement Mill has a thickness of about 95 to 105 Separating sandstone 30 inches. The Proleatus equivalent has a thickness of about 25 to 30 feet. My fossils are from the upper 8 feet. The 6-7 inch layer of oolite marks the base of the Salina or the Ludlow. The lithologic character of those beds in the many limestone bands between the calcareous shale are of the brutalume character, very a light colored (occasionally) impure arg. li. On first fracture a dark hue appearing in Ostracoda throughout. There some ostracoda from the basal beds and 2 pieces of the oolite, and another lot 40 feet higher.

because of the twinted character of the folding but about 25 feet. Then shale of deep purple with thin zones of 1ft.2 in. sandstone, folding Monographtes clintonensis, probably 20 feet thick. Then greenish shale with occasional layers of thin (1-2 inches) of sandstone, probably 50 to 60 feet thick up to a heavy bedded sandstone about 28 to 30 inch thick. Above the thick sandstone once greenish shale alternating once and once with thin limestone, first with a thickness of one inch, deeper up to 2 1/2 inches and finally then is an orbita with some sedimentary pebbles; about 6-7 inches thick. One or two more orbits higher up. All of these orbits belong to the Dolorina as none of the fossils below the orbits occur above it. The faunal change is not easily seen in the Ostracoda as Neophrichis Lata does not go above. Therefore most of my contourite beds all from 6a to 6d both inclusive and some of 6E pass into Dolomina. These beds are marked by Alrodania and Xlrodanilla towards the top appear the layers Rhynchospira, five striate Rhynchonella and a large Spirifer like D. par lamellana but with more flections. My 6E beds are terminated by 7 feet of dear to add fine grained sandstone on the upper surface of which appear large Leperditia. This zone should be regarded as the base of the Cenoman series or the Dullis Creek.

I have taken some of these fruits.

Then 8 of my thin bedded shale on each side with the centre zone dense li, that has been found into a usual clay. This is my 5-p. The balance of my 3 sections follows which are did not examine. Three John Hopkins students are doing this Messrs Hopkins, Price and Croll. My 5a Points of 95' is one of the nodular characters and mostly with the Merlins. The bed grain in Chald Jorae rectilimata is either in the top of the bed or just above it. The coral also occurs so far down just past the corroid strip down to the Michesta grain, Stomatofore common and the Chald Jorae. If the bed until the griters abundance is not added then my 5a is 90 feet thick. The 95 feet only takes in the bed with the coral. The contact between the basal Manlius (95' bed) and the upper small Tolonaway here has the same character as in the Keays quadris, Belns are the then regular bedded Tolonaway beds and above at once the Hurst cathy beds with mine fossils. Along the Drinolates grade beyond the stone cave at the top of the brown clay pit are seen the Skirper ranges and beds with the large Ruderspira Rensselaria Swantzi

Saturday June 4, 1910. And Cumberland. Spend most of the morning at th D.B.B section. Looked into North for seeing sections. Just before noon visited th Compassville quarry. The lower part of the quarry n in the First Stromatopora bed and a little below it, the middle of the quarry takes in the ridge of the D.B.B. B. At the top in a thin irregular zone from 0 to 2 inches of decomposed residual clay and limestone pellets. Then there is the base of the New Yorkland, the beds below being the Creymans as at th D.B.B. Above the residual clay about 11 feet of the B. calarta beds followed by the Macrophleura beds. Just below the latter there in a thin zone I recent residual clay the place borders and hardly got them free New Yorkland foots. One sees here 15 feet of macrophleura beds making limestone. The D.B.B ridge, 6 feet thick is here 8' 6" thick. Upward above the macrophleura beds the hill steeply descends or then comes the shale is here permitting this easier access. The macrophleura beds can not be more than 1 foot thick when the shale must come in. The First Stromatopora bed is here 43 feet below the residual clay zone. Mr. A has a more detailed section. Thanks then one time back at th residual clay and again just beneath it.

macfleura gone a just above the 11 foot of Sphidula beds. Just around the quarry on the Cork Valley road there is a little road metal quarry exposing the upper fossiliferous Ordianry. From here across the street it is about 300 feet to the macfleura beds in the Corrigansville quarry. Corl Valley. Coming across from Corriganville on the Cork Valley road one constantly sees the Upper Ordinary and at one Cork Valley locality one also saw it. Therefore are of the Ordinary is here and there may be more than 300 feet of it. I formerly thought it all out. Collected fossils in the Bryozon beds (Callithyra beds) and at about the Re formation gone of the D.B.B. and a very small lot at the base of the Cork Valley section I.E about 70 feet below the Bryozon beds: Continuing from the place I slipped making it 300 feet to near the base of the Ordinary it is about 180 feet to the First Orthotheca bed. Then it is about 90 feet more to the base of the Bryozo beds. Then 120 feet to the base of the section. These are very rough calculations.

Drills Creek, Cumberland, Above the leary bedded Tuscarora there is a transition zone then sandstone and some shale, gradually joining into the Clinton, I see no hesheeu. Partly 50 feet above this appears the first Amphibian Homophenia, Physichia lata, Callis late and Oltvednia? Higher up they occur often but always in the arenacum bi. The Clinton shale series is quite thick and extends across the small stream valley going into Drills Creek. Which has a detailed section. A 6 fat rim ore bed (ferrymium ox.) occurs partly 100 feet on or above the Tuscarora. Called on Mrs P. H. Gordon but failed to see her. Packet a box before ten P.M. and had it delivered to the Express Office. Left an addressed envelope to send receipt, until the hotel boy. The Rochester part of the Diogaran is here then and about as at Pints. The Red Juniate beneath the Tuscarora in this gap shows considerable current action, in places saw channeling 4 feet deep and 10 in length.

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, forming one arm of an anticline with the beds dipping 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?

In the soil supposed to be 20 ft higher are 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-

daily fracturing. This Everett section apparently has far more deposits beneath the Cigecegenesi beds than any other section seen on this trip. On all of the sections seen last week more had more than so feet beneath this one (Carl Valley) and the Tomloney had not more than 15 feet. As we go north and east in the Appalachian basin the marble section becomes thicker. Accordingly the sea appeared in the north first and overlapped southward. How could this sea have come in from the Atlantic unless by way of New Jersey. At the west end of Everett one saw a thick sandstone that one took to be the Clislang, how we found not the thickness but there is at least 50 feet visible. In the Everett lime quarry the only limestone is seen to rest on the Tomloney, here again a thin bedded lime limestone. The Clinton is seen just east of Mt. Dallas and has thick beds of sandstone not unlike the Tus-carora. Mount Dale with some acid groves. Thickness 4-10 feet or thereabouts of cement stone. And at Mt. Dallas station the Juniata does not show but to the west along the turnpike maybe seen the Seneca sandstone very much like the Tuscarora. It may be about 200 ft thick.

Tuscarora about 300 ft thick. Left Everett at 3.30 and got to Altoona at 6.30 M. Stopping at the rail road hotel. Beneath the "traced boulder bed" there are 3 feet of beds that are probably best added to the Lellean's. They have the matulinian character while the next hard bed below is of the Orchestean type somewhat crystalline di. Riff has a photo of the contact. Strata also low diff from 150, to the N.

Monday June 6 -1910 Altoona Got up as usual at 6 A.M. and after breakfast to see the interesting sections about Hollidaysburg. At the LaLemont electric railway cut about 2 1/2 about the lower 73 ft miles south of Altoona station may be seen the LaLemont (Salinian) series abounding in Ostracoda, small Meristella, an occasional Favrites, very rare Rhynchotrema, and many small gastropods as Pelecy pods. The base of the Lalém cut here is an intra formation conglomerate (edge-wise peices, chucked up sea bottoms) with crabs (Favrites), Sperifera sp. (which has them) and Ostracoda, thickness 3'4". Which is "huldy bee". About 6 feet higher another intra formation conglomerate. Above the huldy bee for about 20 feet there are many zones of cratulinic like linden [illegible] beds between thin zones of shale. Then gradually into more shale beds with the shale almost a Hassel laminated shale in which which get Raphomilleria. Here I picked up a few small slabs with Ostracoda. Most of my fossils come from the upper beds of the Lalémvale justally appear to 50 feet of this section. Total thickness here 112 feet thick The Rochester beds below, the LaLemont at first sight are soft unlike the latter but the harder beds are now a blue limestone instead of a cratulinic like one and all the

Which admits that there is an iron track between the Clinton and the Rochester. Kirk says that in nearly sections, there may be one or less of the then directions. It is therefore a variable condition, all are losses. Which makes the Lament about 200 feet thick.

- Clinton fossils are of the Rochester type. I think here as at Pinto a whole series with thousands of limestone. Which makes it 58 feet. There are less of the Rochester limestone bands here than at Pinto. In other words more shale passing more quickly into the Clinton phase, which begins the Rochester here here at the heavy bedded ferruginous arenaceous lying about above a thickness of about 6 feet followed by a ten inch band of [only locally surviving] Politic high frondiferae and etc. It occurs abundantly Philodimella circularis the Clinton guilds, Amphistea hemithelyza occurs below here but not above the heavy bedded ferruginous also limestone arenaceous (At Pinto are seen three fossils in the Rochester series) and says nearly here (a little to the east of the Lakeport end) he sit Palaeoveselus rotuloides 20 feet below the heavy beds or limestones lie. Created well above, which says it also occurs in N.Y. high near the In other 8 feet below the heavy bedded arenaceous lie, occurs the upper Clinton fossil iron ore. Thickness about 4 feet intwined with mud shale. Locally all of it is fossil iron ore. This bedded frondiferae lie occur still below for at least one foot more. Then nothing but Clinton shales, to the Lake- and Park lode at the base of the massive lime near the base of the "Middle series" in red shale or we have seen about first Caeapm.. This goes of oolite occur about 100 two feet above here beside the railroad track Almost due west of Bald Hills may be seen

the iron just of the Tonoloway mit Physchomella Lamel- losa, Lep. alto and Murchisonia. Here also irregular depositum. See sketch to left. Bald Hill, east of Hollidaysburg, Pa. Of Tonoloway there is here shown at least 75 feet. In the irregular bedded laminated lightish or gray orthocerine but these feet are here more heavily bedded than usual in that the beds diminish. On this outcrop about ten feet almost on the bed of a (mindseye) much denser limestone but also has the regular orthocerine appearance. There are some Triorites githardi (the one seen in Moneurs quarry), Stramatopora (not in relief), a branching Stramatopora is common, and Farroites (some hemispheric atma) [illegible] sphere. Higher for 5 feet heavy bedded chertier and some crystalline limestone. This district says begins a new series above the Tonol- oway. Kind where Condylorhinus fluminus.

Kirk collected fossils from at least 5 zones in the New England. There is some over crossing in this upper New England zone. There is no break between the New England and the Beecraft. Over all throughout the barn area looks more like a very argillaceous Haeul limestone that matures into shale. Over a bar of lime present but never much. The Ordiany of to the sandy Upper Ordiany is 260 far thick. The upper sandy Caroll any has a thickness of 150 ft. It finally goes into a quartz pebble argillanate Kirk will mark out the thickness, it may go to 75-100 ft.

heavy bedded dense crystalline crinoidal limestone in which also occurs Syphidula pulestro. Higher the blue limestone is in thinner beds and their gradually introduces more chert and goes a dull shale. Up to the Archolina bed the thickness is 44 feet I saw no guide from these beds, [illegible] Above the Archolina given the limestone are also this bedded dense crinoidal, measuring for 43 feet. This then is the contact with the Beecroft. The Beecroft is a series of heavy bedded darker with chert and more crystalline limestone than the New Scotland below.

Ask Kirk if he has a photo of these, he says he has three pictures.

In the upper sandy Christany saw Sp. munchioni and L. intermedia. in the sandy beds saw a little brown large D. auratus, Pregalcentum volbi and Dacphorotoma vortricosa. Here also occur some so far in the chest rare with L. tribulus. L. flotellita, Dahlmanitz Tads. Drithen a few feet of the base occur in thin zones Leptrocelis flotelli, ts, Chmets g., Oththerdmata 3 p.mel acm and Centrocclia in great abundance. Other 3 pies. Above the Christany comes in the Marcellus shale. I saw Styirlina fissurella, Saw no Orando for an certainty kindle. Got back to Galtona at 6 P.M. and at 6.28 left for Lewistown. We are arrive at 8 P.M. Stopping at the Coleman house. Packed a chief basket with fruits an certainty wines.

In the Onndaga Shales there is considerable remains of a slender branching faucid, very like those of the Ordovay Shale. The transition from the Onndaga to the Marcellus is gradual, or break here. At the top of the Onndaga then folded (4-12 inhs) impure bi, predominate and the fossil shell grows are thin (0-2 inches) Loma come and come shale is again introduced when the section looks similar like the Lower Ordovay. The Clionets are very large, some more than 1/2 inch across.

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

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.

the Indian Laddus. Thickness of Marlins 30 ft. The "Transition series" to Coeymans is here 12 feet thick and the Coeymans 18 feet. The Coeymans begins sharply above the "Transition" beds and as the Rypidula galacta are at the bottom with a regular Old delubrian fauna but without the O. macropleura there is a big faunal difference with the beds = Marlins below. In all probability there is a break in the section here that must be looked into tomorrow.

"As far as can be seen there is one sharp break between the Cognmans and Marlins but the faunas are very dissimilar. There must be here an hiatus seen in the different faunas and the lithic conditions. The eye fails to see the physical line that separates the two. The Tentaculite, Rondart and Crestlie represent the basal series here, but the higher beds elsewhere (Marlins) are not here. This shows the extent of the break.

Saturday June 11-1910 Dunham Rained hard all morning. In the afternoon visited the eastern quarries from Barnie's in the south to the Drip quarry at the north. Collected in the upper five feet of the Transition Series to the Creymans having Sphinctula solcata (go through the 13 foot) In these five feet got L. alve, L. crunucensis, Tc sycacanthus, Phtherodonta variistriata, the small Alphichonella described by Barham, Plocdenia and Plocdenella pennsylvanica, Beyartmia. It seems to me that these are the beds or about the beds in which I collected the crinoids at Litchfield. In the quarries just east of the village and a little north of the cemetery one sees the following succession: Creymans a cattle thin layered heavy textured grey limestone that does not weather into clumps on the beds. The 12 feet of dark blue to black marl a less irregular trilobed limestone holding at the top the fossils mentioned above. Then the Tataraculite series or Charlevoix. At the top 30 and thick, followed by 7 feet (in 3 layers) that will weather into thin beds, then 8 feet of beds in 4 to 6 inch layers followed by one foot of this plate clots abounding in Tetraculites. Then a heavy bed, 3 feet thick followed by a dark clayey layer also from the mud on the base of the quarry, about 3/10" thick

In the [illegible] quarry we sees about 12 foot [illegible] [illegible] (but on agillaceous limestone) of dark colored brittle materials. With thin white lines from 4 to 14 inches and without fossils. There is good Dun- nealling here. Lamination not distinct. On the edge of the [illegible] quarry we sees 6 foot of lamin beds much like those of the lower part of the quarry and that weather down into shale. Laminian. These are probably in the Round rock cement horizon. Below these there are 14 feet 6" to the Bragman Shales (= Dalina) They are not the Bragman shales (= Dalina) and the so-called Runnwater sandstone or Hudson Ruin? See Hartmayers photo of the Bragman- Creskill contact at Harris Cave. The forms are distinctly truncated. It is this that leads me to think the Bragman's is Hudson Ruin.

Regular Creynmans fauna of Epidula selecta. hictus 10" {here the first undoubted Creynmans fauna. {2 for 1 delatoris Creynmans. Has Transition fauna Irregularly bidded Transition series and shale faulting. Thickens about 12 feet. Regular Manlius as elsewhere. Here 33 feet thick. The Manlius-Creynmans break is very difficult to locate better than one have it as above described. Above the transition beds and beneath the Creynmans there must be inserted a very thick series of beds seen elsewhere and that abounded in Stromatopora etc. He did not see the Rendous and Catterlises for any length of time.

Sunday June 12-1910 Shore's Care in the afternoon. Drive 3 miles from Johnshaws to Shore's Care Cement works. Great quarries here in the Marlins and Coegmans. The latter is here all 135 feet thick. At the top beds become thick bedded. Below is the transition series with the usual appearance of Ochshawe Directly into Marlms the heavy bedded Coegmans contain any physical line of value in stratigraphy to separate from the Transition series. In the lower 2 feet of the Coegmans, the same fauna as that of the Trans- sition is present. In the next higher layer I at least 10 notes them at that. The first trace of normal Coegman fauna (one specimen of R. complicata) and six inches higher come the first Spicula selecta. This then is the faunal line to separate the Marlins from the Coegmans and must be regarded as the physical line as well. On physical grounds alone the Coegmans will begin with the first heavy bedded grey crinoidal limestone. In the 2 feet of debatable basal Coegmans occur single beds of Spm not apparently forst above here. Saw a single Ammatysora head about 8 feet above the physical base of the Coegmans.

Monday June 13 - 1910 Kirkstom In the Cement abandoned quarries near the stone yard. The contact of the Cotteshill on the steeply upturned Hudon Riven sandstone, Mr. enigmatically here or any thing to direct my attention to a fact well other than the circular unem [illegible]. The basal layer of the Cotteshill in a coarse crystalline grind of Li. with ferricrete, the contact is slightly wave but there is not a sign of sand or pebbles between the Cotteshill and the Hudon River. Mr limestone conglomerate to Hudon River pebbles in the base Cotteshill layers. In some of the hollows there is a quarter inch of sand and lime. In the fallen down blocks from above the Rendall cement (the cement layers were quarried out) there is another sharp contact but one not representing a time break. The basal layers of these blocks consist of thin bedded dur estone limestone with thin streaks of impure Li. of about 6 feet in thickness followed by a 5 foot thick zone of stromatopora. The upper surface of the zone is knotty and in the cervices there is a well laminated shale with pieces of the stromatopora free involved. On this follows a durc or hard birdseye limestone without lamination for about 18 inches.

to Hatty The Shumateporen beds are the prominent mes of Marlino, which thinks he sees similar small Gastropods here as there. Which has a total thickness between $491$ Rondoir cement and the base of the Creymans of $491' 4''$. Rondoirs 6. stromatopora 9. 6 black shale 10 4 6. 6 Shumetropin 4 $rac{4, 4}{49} 4$ Below this is reported 29 fut of Rondoir. Rondoir cement beds come in shortly below, The upper surface of the Rondoir cement with Lepidoid thin acta.

"the Higher laminations sets in more and more and the shell takes on a streaked yellowish cast. This zone is partlly 9 feet thick. The 6 to 8 inch flack shale layer followed by 0-4 inches with Lepidodictis acta, Another contact. Here there is a slighty irregular contact with the done shaled and some slightly bedded and an iron rust contact. Then follows the Creymans with pebbles of the done colored layers belus and Lepidodua galata Lincinulus mutabilis, A. reticularis, L. thomboidalis. In the Lower Shetland shales are seen Spirifer crancuseni, Favosites praecelens, small cup coral (many septas), and 2 species of the Marllius genus, founds seen at Marlins. Undoubtedly the origin of the Upper Marlins at Marlins. On the road just north of the Slog Hole Opening one sees the following section Creymans contact Then the succession as before down to base of Shetland shales bed. Lepidodictis and thick bedded done colored beds nodular shale 9 a 10 feet. Streaky grey bands. Streaky ledded nodular grey li.

The upper surface of the [illegible] is considerably eroded in rather deep funnel-shaped holes over 12 inches deep. On this coast the Coeymans..

In the quarry on the other side of the B[ley] [illegible] we sees the Marlius-Cogmans contact. Below is a strealed (yellow) yellowish dore above long bridded li ard on top is the dark grey granular long bridded Cogman and only zones. On this contact we see small channels in the lower beds filled with the Cogman material. There is here about 40 feet of Cogmans to be seen. Cogmans Hue py granular Marlius dore clink Contact. solution channels 3 to 5 miles deep. On the other side of the road the solution holes are of to 12 miles deep. Said good bye to [illegible] and Kirk at 4 P.M. They got to Park Jervis and Home. The trip has been a very profitable one as I have learned much. Left Kingston at 5.20, Decham 7.45, Big 9.30 New Haven 11.30.
