Sep. 29.
Sunday. Spent the morning
writing letters. In the afternoon
Mr. Kermahan took me to an
outcrop of Hamilton limestone about
ten miles n.-w. of Thedford on Lake
Huron at Stokes Point. About five
feet of limestone is here exposed.
It rained much of the time with
a stiff cold wind blowing from the
lake so that we did not look
around much. Fossils on the
weather beaten rocks are not well
shown and appear to be rare. I
noticed a large Fistulipora, Stroma-
tipora? Spirifer mucronata in abundance
S. granulifera, Shepherdonta macula
and S. demissa. Also apparently a
Lophyphyllum with smaller corals than
in Dranchiaci. Also Orthoi'
peneldae common.
These beds because of the proximity
of the Seneca "black shale" lead me
to believe them higher than any at Thedford.
