Sulphur - Ada, Okla. Thursday, March 30-1922, Another dark and freezing day, At 9.30 Major and Braimund go on with the car to Ada, while Shores and I go via train to Ada. Left started at 10.20 pm Scullin where we changed cars, and then on to Ada. It rained a little off and on, and we will probably not be able to do anything to day. Putting at the New Hans Hotel. It rained hard most of the afternoon and do looked over the fossils collected by Braimund, out of the Purgas formation. It has a fauna of about 20 species that looks to me like the Kemiska one. It has the Purmax originatus, but lacks some of the gastropores. Then too some of the species are smaller. It may be somewhat older than kemiska. Has some fine gmiatites from the higher Pennsylvanian. All me species, have 3 species, has some fine Carey fossils in limestone and there is unworked. I must get some of the material.
