Collected all day along the stone
walls and looked over the section. The
latter is as follows:
The rise of the land is steep from
the waterline at the base of which issue
springs. Short and deep gullies are in the
waterline and usually stop where the
[illegible] begins.
This near the top of the
waterline that the Eurypterus are found.
Above the water line is a steep slope
covering the Pentacinite. Above the formation about Coffret is
a bend of shaly bedded limestone of the lowest Cegmans,
where lower beds may be called the Illinoia beds.
