Sep. 28-1900 Rainy. Spent the morning in boulden collections picking out the best Linnæa Seldernby and Oriskany fossils which he is donating to the National Museum to further the paleontology of the Cumberland Coeks. In the afternoon collected in the Lower Shale district at Cask Valley. Here the section begins a little above the Rhynchonella forma bed and it was upward through the second strata from bed. Above this the beds are crook but further above is an extreme upform of deep sand dirty limestone which in more other than the Heck flint limestone of the Lower Oriskany. I peered off these various gyps and found the thickness of the beds like about as at Lewis Rock Bore.
