freight and mail hit loading to Camden, [2949] August Sunday 4, Camden. Left Nashville on the 2:15 C. G. W. L. for Camden.. Arrived about 5 P.M. More Mijaram to the next station, Popram, only Fillin grams north of Newson. Then through the Black Hole and dance into the Mississippi. 4) August Mondays, Camden Collected in the Camden Lower Christany in the villins about the village to the south. In the afternoon on the hill slope back of the houses in the northern part of the village. Secured one oratured than on my former try. So far as I can see the Christany is followed by a zone of Hueist-red shales without fossils. It certainly is not the Hoell shale. This shale in places terminates in a layer of Haell much with wood certainty of Tertiary or older recent age. Then an injected redish sand indicated wtr an rim zone of 1-2 inch thick of base in contact wth the side a brown coal. All of these deposits are very modern and have nothing to do with the Pelegrines on the Christany!
