Grand Greve, Aug 16 Tuesday. Collected during the morning in the highest limestone within 20 feet of the Gaspe at Little Bridge sandstone. Did not see many fossils and those collected are the same species as those found on the Bare Head. Saw L. arenatus. D2135 In the afternoon collected along the way road to within a mile of the lith house. At one locality in compact blue limestone found a few large Stephersdatos. These are associated with Pennsylvanian productus and Phyllophorus arenarius but did not see any fossil enough to take along. This is probably the Lehighquay porte horizon. At the farther locality corals predominate but they are so poor as to have little value. Probably two species of Favosites occur here and several species of cup corals. Sprigg's form in my view in fact leave but two papromets. Certainly these corals could not give rise to the regular Onm- doya coral fauna of New York or Louisville. Pelagyporids and gastropods are associated with these corals. This zone is about the middle or below the middle of the Grand Greve formation.
