On the top near the school where one sees on occasional gastropod. The flavour of these appear to be Raphistoma about one inch or a little more in diameter. Associated with these appear to be Maculina but none seen above more than two inches across. Pured some crystalline lumps that struck to make out to be Rhynchotrema but could not do so, saw no cephalopods at all. May have been some hygro-gra and tiny echinoderm columnals. Are the next to the small flat and mud quarries a little to the west and here above on the side of the cliff the quarries is a grey mass 5 feet thick filled with a great quantity of small Raphistoma ranging from 1/2 to 3/4 inch across. In section these looked to me like this. Here also crinoid-like columnals are present, but saw no plates. Keith says he has Maculina 4 inches across near the school above the big quarries. In one place I thought I could make out in several layers a great quantity of Bathurstia little intertwining. Then started on to Castleton.
