"See section on pg. 57 2933 P.R.R. In the cut 1/8 miles last of Principio Station. The "dense variegated clay" from rail road cut of that least 20 feet are very red almost crimson. These, are clays somewhat gritty and distinctly or rather mottled but irregularly variegated. Did not see here the white clay in strata gone. Barrel has clay of this Patapsco gone from about 25 foot above rail road track. Style of come in advance from clay samples of the Baritan. This is the Baritan that we find the iron ore. Farther east lower strata, the Patuxent comes in. There are more sandy beds, sometimes variegated, during an abundance of iron. These iron layers have at times considerable flaky remain for sandy nature. One large piece with a concave surface had a regular dotted appearance. Have some fragment of it and also some of the ovoid. The iron ore pure Barrel the idea of several iron segregation. There are also had evidence that the layers own cracked mud deposits, if in drift iron had been Barrel for the evidence this evidence that is once certain to establish the nature of them deposits to be rather cultivated, marks in proximity of the sea. In other case the Patuxent when I clear sand maybe 5 or shallows den, filling up a depositing continental deposits.
