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

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
