July 21 Sunday, Cumberland, Today matters easy in the morning our Startlyp's Meeting. In the afternoon strolled to the southwest to see the 'Twisted Rocks', the annual folded bits of the Niagara. Collected a number of pieces of limestone of different layers from the lower half of the Niagara reptile and Osteocodae. Once one sees these forms the more one is impressed that the Niagarans belong to a distinct fauna from this of Ledy at all the interior region. In the evening Schwartz, O'Hearn and Maynard called. July 22 Monday. Cumberland Spent the day in the Cielings cuts on the Western Maryland between Pratt Branch and Spring Cape. Sand pockets with fossils are not very abundant. In the afternoon strolled at a large one found some time ago by Hartly which yielded many fossils among them entire Edriostracus secundus, a new Rhodo- crinus, and three with recurved arms. The calici-fication is coarse but otherwise the fossils are good. Also some large and entire Spirofer intermedius.
