Horrell called in his auto at 8.30 A.M. and
made off for the fossil locality about 4 ½ miles
S.W. of Chilton in the Chilton dsl. He has been
here twice before but got no fossils. I left him
to my locality of Dartford under the two big
Maple trees. I dug up a lot of fossil coral
and turned it over to Horrell. He took most

carried away fully 100 pounds of coral and will
try to sketch some of it. It was nearly noon
when we started north.
Then autored north and finally turned back roads

north of a farmer's house saw Highgate slate on E.
side of road on a hitherme just uncovering. It is N'
acrem. That the slate is Highgate was proved by several
Agnostus and Lingula found there. A little north
of W. side of road is another hitherme flat topped and
pitching not over 45 thence. Here the Highgate dips slightly
to E. and the cleavage and bedding coincide. Great
