Sep.-27-1900
Arrived at Cumberland last night
and came stopping with Mr. R. H. Sorden.
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 from the cliff to the
right (or east). In this debris I found
several large and typical Pentamerus
and then from picking the eastern 1 Sep. section,
Selective sorting began a doubt that
the limestone ridges below (east) are all
of the Lower Pentamerus. Going up the
hill near the top about two feet of the
limestone (higher or section) we saw on
the face came several Orthos Matu.
Spinifer macrophluma, L. rhomboidalis
Strephonella punctulifera and Orthotheca
amphorhana n.gadiota. This assemblage
points unmistakably to the Delthyra
(one to fifth page.)
