at the top of the hill where the horn has its

About [illegible] the diabase sill seems a
dimy sandstone abounding in Spirifus and other
fossils some of which we familiar. Between
the exposures seems to be Beech's. Possibly
300 further from some fossils are common though -
only one of 50 to 100 far. Here the Spirifus
are small associated with small Athyris
