June 9-1901 Wednesday Megan. Camaraeum occurs in a zone about 5 to 6 feet thick just beneath the Pentamerus bed. With the Camaraeum and below for 20 feet in the greatest abundance of Spirifera modestus. One cystoid was found in the Camaraeum but occurs far below due Spirifera retrostata. P. campbelliana also occurs with the cystids up above my table. The by campbelliana from my form tray occurs below in bed 17. See the Pentamerus collected by Hartley 40 feet below S. octocostatus. The dumps show that the second floor metform bed to be typically devoid of it although the chonetiforms are scarce, on the dumps. Seemed a just bit of fossils.
