Dubuque Iowa Aug 21st '91 Saturday. Rain until 9.30 A.M. Visited a series of quarries in the southern portion of the city. The Salina formation at this place and in fact all the way east to Salena crop out in great bluffs and heavily bedded throughout. The fossils seen are usually casts, poor and not very numerous. Picked up a Schizotreta which seems to be identical with three of found by Jardine and Marsh. Also a few specimens of Actinocrinus and Sclerocrinus. 2 P.M. Left for Drafz on the Chicago, St. Paul and Kansas City R.R. Arrived there at 3.45 Put in the afternoon in the R.R. cut just north of the station.
