almost impossible to do any collecting and
but a small collection was made due to a
scarcity of the fossils outside of the caves. Most
of the other fossils are two species of hatchisporas.
We then concluded to try more inland
ledges and after much hard labor through
the emifers got to them only to find that
they had no fossils and in 4/5 of it were dense
large redded rillitic limestones. After plowing
around in the bushes we came upon a little
brook that we followed down the hill to
one fall of the morning and down it we
went to the village.
Leaving our collection at Mrs. Flinn's we
ascended the hill again to collect in the
Olenellus layer discovered yesterday. Here we
rode over for 2 1/2 hours but did not get a
single complete Olenellus head. Most of the
fragments are free cheeks and plurae! The best
fossils gotten were Parrypus denecatus and Pty-
choparia minor. Also Lutyria cingulata.
