There is no deposition here between the Junicta and Tuscarora, It's a complete sequence fancy without break upward into the Clinton. If one is Silurian then or are both. As one goes up the hill higher into the Tusca -rra the sandstones become whitish, craggy and more fine grained. In other words the sequence is complete from a dirty muddy sea to a clean head sand depositry sea. July 20th Saturday Cumberland, Md. Rained all night or started out late at 9. Spent the day out. Start by at the D.B.B. Made a general collection from the beds in the Cregmans and Shanlens. The bed of my published section labelled 3c is disturbed, a few cracked ones. These are my comprehensions of the Bock Dome June 22 foot thick. The New Deal land geine appears to be about as thick here as on the opposite side of the Creek, but more than 10 feet of the chief layers with thin accerflums are seen. The surface is thus crowned for about 35 feet over the Hackleburg.
