Sep. 1.
Spent Sunday in Port Colborne.
In the afternoon I drove to some Corn.
farm ex pons about 2 miles west
of the village. The out crops are
equivalent to those of Le Roy and
immediately under the Ranals
farm locality. Favorite canade-
sin are Argyrospore and
Lophyphyllum abundant. Cup
Coral rare.
The beds below the coral
beds which Shentlpy regards
as the same as the Onondaga
were seen to-day to contain beds
of white hard Compact sand
becoming limy and lime in the
stratified beds. Of the sandy
layers there are probably not
more than 4 to 6 feet grading
into a compact thin reddish
limestone which may be the alfer
Rutulini or the belm up for
trail present. In place.
