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.
