and my mind is charcter like the Triassic of Conn, but are not cryptomeric. Then too these are more equally folded and are but little con- folded. The parting layers are thin red shale jmes that are usually sun-cracked. Some ripping of an undistinct nature is seen. Juber. Hummer is our geoin point. This was at Jonesville and Charlotte. Can this red quartzite be the eastern shore those of the Potsdam? See if any other fossils occur other than Phycosporia adanasi. At least 300 feet in known, , but as nothing has been seen nor what the formation sets upon, the total thickness is not known. To morrows we are to go to Ironton, Pailus Quarry, and Highgate Falls. May be Daniel got more help here. The L.C. dolomites seen this after noon are all crystalline, from fine grained to coarse, some are away white, and others are colored dark with darker Hatches. In one place we saw much truculent black chalk disposed in the dolomite quite irregularly as if a cryptogamate! It must be a diagnostic sign. Staying at Stiles Hotel at Milton, IT.
