Grand Breve formation.
In the afternoon searched the hills along
the 'Portage' through the corral to the cliffs. Saw
no fossils in the cliffs which I judge to be Lygaeo
grapt. On the hills on both sides of the Portage saw
almost no fossils but did find Lep. concharia and a
Odmunicl? taut. This is June 6.
Later examined more closely the position of the
Rhyne, hamandei beds and found them to be in
the yellow thin bedded limestone which usually
agrees as the Chonite came down, beds are one foot
thick. In the brook where we collected this Chonite
it is not more than 20 feet thick; the hamandei beds
are probably not less than 20 feet. These beds
of a whitish and more crystalline nature with
its large fossils are probably not less than 20 feet
thick.
Later. This Crystallany zone is clearly in mor?
and probably some distance from the top. See Skiffs
field remarks.
