Monday September 4-1933 Wea. THUR. NOV. 11, 1909 Ther. Started at 9.30 in the Burlington bus for the road one mile south of Beggin Center. The day is dark and the Weather Man says cloudy with occasional showers, but I will visit it. It did not rain yesterday and may not do or today, it did not shower but was warm. After waiting an hour on leaving the bus I came out at Georgia Plains but in the meantime had learned nothing more. It was then less one mile to my "Orchid Farm," Locality. Collected a lot of the small trilobites at Howells place and these have good heads and free cheeks so Raymond should be able to name them. Several times saw what looked like the horned fruit. Howell says they occur here and are collected there before. In the highway at about 50' above the fence occur 10 or 12 bithems, some very small. One is 120' long, another is 20 x 30 and the rest appear to be smaller. The "Ruff Knoll" drl. is of the same kind as that at the top of the Parkers. But all with the same symptoms. What may be the cause is that the cavity is shaped only by the Parker's drl. The cavity has a throat 12" across.
