Sep.-27-1900
Arrived at Cumberland last night
and came stopping with Mr. R. H. Lord.
Spent the day at the Devils Back
Cone section.
We first collected back of the R.R.
match box and I soon learned that
most of the lower roll here up the hill
side has fallen down for the Cliff to the
right (west). In this debris I found
several large and typical Pentameres
and from picking the column of Sep. 26th made
[illegible] pretty nearly a draft that
the limestone ridges below (east) are all
of the Lower Pentameres. Spring up the
hill near the top about two feet of other
limestone (higher in section) we saw on
the face came one large Orthos Matu
spinae macrolima, L. rhomboidalis,
Strunella punctulifera and Orthotheca
amphorhama n. gadicta. This assemblage
points unmistakably to the Delthys
(von to fifth page.)
