At [altitude] 1950 feet, I picked up heads of Toxithurus
brevi.
[altitude]
At 950 feet Reeds and I picked up several specimens
of Diplocidatus and one Leptobolus having her four
radiations. Ten specimens. This locality is just up
the mountain from the turn in the road at which one
has a fine view of the river bridge over the Sheanum-
drah.
There is more Haell shale at the bridge,
(Later, The same formation found at Martin's Ferry at the base of
the Martinsburg shales)
There is no finer nor more continuous section
of the Martinsburg shale than this one in the
road from Dorodstock of Massanutten Mt. thin
(one foot)
one exposure beside the road from the bridge up
to the Massanutten sandstone. As far as I can
see the Martinsbury trying to the Utica and help
in the Lorraine with Orthorychule being as
the highest design member. Throughout it is a black
sandy shale that weathers into yellowish, red, white
or mottled white and black shale. There is much fine
sand and evidence of minute cross bedding. More sandy
at top [illegible] from Massanutten.
Crossing the bridge and walling to Dorodstock
one passes down more Martinsburg, all black, to
the finer size of the sand about 1/8 mile from
the bridge, here the limestone comes in. In
