Going south-east for 3 miles along the Madison
railroad one first encounters the Ohio Shale shale and
then at least 75 feet of Devonian limestone down to
the streambed. Along the track one sees much widma
of very crocted magnesium limestone. The beds or
distiguishes are the silten limestones in large bks.
The openings of the croctls are from 1/4 to 1/2
incht. The joints from 4 to 8 inches.
In going to Madison we again saw the Ohio
shale about 4-5 miles south-east and again a little
further along. In those places it seems to reprove
on the Silajaran.. If this is or the rule of silo
indicates an erosional unconformity,
The Devonian rocks are in a very uncrm county.
But once on the Silajaran rocks the county is again
flat and remains so almost to North Orkadian at
the edge of the cliff to the river level.
Staying at the Madison Hotel.
