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.
