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.
