(at first thought the dip to peak are made out the thickness as frm 100 to 200 feet, but the dip is plainly not feet) distance above the true Hamilton Lepta- crinia Shellite, Phacops and crinoid columns (there left those pries). Then at crossing other horizons higher. sans Crinlia micolata. Smashed lower than the Leptocrini some hole found Dalmanella plano- convexa and Phacops. All of this indicates [Ordiary] but nowhere did a single Upper Ordian species turn up. While at work about North Mt and Cherry Rd changed the corelation to Kimpton. The trouble is that this eastern horizon is from some 1400 feet. follow away these beds came in thick black smooth shales with Stylodonta and Stephanja markers of the Marcellus. These beds may be 100 to 200 feet thick before the higher Hamilton or true Romney occurs. Broken for ponds but saw only Cystina hamiltonensis. In any court looking along the strike the locality takes one to the place on the road side having the Hamiliton finds collected this morning. The contact between the [Ordinary] shales and the Marcellus may indicate an erosional one for Middle orleded along the conglomerate layer and in 1500 feet noted that it came another one foot for heavy bedded limestone that at the other end was separated from the limestone by shale by 20 feet. If this observation is correct the Marcellus surface is concave as the true Silurian may be welded away. Further picked up a bris
