This quarry like the one of my former visit is in the lower beds, the fine solid fluent-block limestones with Lepidicla alta. This is followed by another 40 to 50 feet a less pure limestone and more nodular having Spirifer modesta. In the loose dark beds I also saw a T. gracantus. Between Bearcstown and Paxton- vile but nearest to the latter place beside the road at small quarries in the same beds as those of One Clerie's. Here I saw a very large Pentagmus solutus (longee form) proving the portion of Merista to have held the same position do at Centuriland. Stopt at the Central Hotel kept by Mr. D. Belden. Rained all day although the weather man had it 'fair.'
