are the thin laminated limestone layers having the ostracods. Above these are are other thin beds slightly nodular abounding in Lepaditris and rarely a Rhynchonella with lamellae just the one for Lyson & Va. In the higher beds the Lepaditris are less common with Spirifer vanuxemi quite abundant and an occasional Rhynchonella formosa Rhynchospira and possibly a rare Meristella (see page 26) Returned to Lewiston on the 11.08 train arriving at 11.45. In the afternoon started in at the little quarry back and at the west end of Lewiston. This quarry is in the heavy bedded limestone near the top of the Lewiston formation, the Spiriferula saleata indeed some occurs here. Going to the top of the quarry the surface is covered with limestone frag- ments on some which I saw Dentaculites gracanthus. I estimate this covered area to be at least 50 fut. About here one also sees chunks of flint without ribs
