August, Tuesday, 7. Perryville. Packed on two boxes and shipped them at Camden. Left at 9:58 A.M., and left for Perryville via Hollow Rock and Lexington. Arrived at 6:30 P.M. after a walk of 4½ hours at Lexington. 2947 August 8, Thursday, Perryville. Was up at 5:30 and away at 6:15 in the quarry near operation about ¾ miles north of the village. Here may be seen the top 20 feet of the Browns-peak upon which rests without apparent break the New Zealand. It begins with a limestone member probably 5 to 8 feet thick, a crinoidal limestone having an abundance of Mariacrinus stenius and an occasional Camarocrinus. These same beds also have the regular New Zealand fauna for in it I saw Stenijus magnificus, S. pelamella, Stricklandia beechi, Meristella atrica, and striatipora. These limestones are followed by blue shales that weather out as a tough sticky clay full of fossils of the New Zealand type. Only one animal comes from these shales, here appear the first Brycidula and Michelinia. Above is a debris of Camden shale mixed with sand at some of the [illegible] Luderburge clay. It in clay.
