Sep. 16 Collected all day in the Majara in the quarries on the top of the "Mountain" bach of Hamilton. The grapholite are all from the Majara and from tele above the Majara shale. The grat majority are from the Chest beds and the "House building limestone" im- mediately below also gave some. They are difficult to get and can only be secured when the quarries are in direction. Purchased four specimens of this one, in the quarries. Later in the day collected on farms on the top of the mountain among the Chest jettles. The fossils are the characteristic Majara species but the preservation is not good. The highest chest beds yield sponges and there are small coral shell, flint. Visited the Hamilton Association museum and found one Diogenuma. Also called on Mr. A E Walker, and examined his Majara sponges.
