C. Dr. & St. Paul R.R. to the north
west. Here the "lower buff"
is seen to rest on the St. Petri
landstone. Could not see it at
the quarry in that part was filled
with water but the quarry man
said that white sand rock came
in there "below the limestone". The
entire "lower blue beds" and about
15 feet of the "upper buff beds"
are also exposed in this quarry. Fossils
not as numerous here as in the
quarry to the south.
In the afternoon looked over
the rocks thrown over the canal
embankments near the woolen
mill to the west of Janesville.
Found the usual fossils. Sagto-
joda and Pelecypoda most
abundant.
