Sep 18 Wednesday. Spent the morning examining the various quarries near Odys Corners. I examined the quarries to the right of the Ballburg one while Beecher visited the one about half mile to the left of the game quarry. The entire series of quarries here begin a little below the Homergrun- gne and continue to the top of the Corg- man's which is probable by the Onondaga. In the Ballburg quarry we again found more crinoids and Beecher dis- covered the crinoid bed. There can be no doubt that a good colony exists here. He saw the two quartermen full instructions to preserve are they find and believe they will soon send us a lot. The section following is a composite of the quarries near Odys Corners.
