Monday March 6-1922 Before the Evening Board of the Sheffield Scientific School presented at 4.15 P.M. the promotion of Alan Mars Bateman Assistant Professor close second appointment to a full Profess- ship. Ford, Matthews, P.I. Smith and Chitten den endorsed him. Then President Angell came out with the Hartford State- ment that he fully believed in the Associate Professorship and that most instructors should go through this grade. It is very evident that at best Bateman will get a short appointment as Associate Profssor say for two years at $5000 per an- num. Rushed from the meeting to my rooms and packed my baggage to take the 6.09 train for the Penn. Station at New York City; got here at 8.15. This note letters to Bateman, Ford and Lule.

Got into the Hanistown sleeper at 10 P.M. The train is to start at 2 A.M. Tuesday March 7 - 1922 Left for Hanistown at 7.30 A.M. Had breakfast and at 8 was off for Pittsburg, It is dark this morning and raining. The Susquehanna and the Juniata are in flood and very yellow. A little snow lies on the mountain tips. It is raining once and once and before getting to the top of the Horseshour Curve it is pouring very wet. So it does all the way to Pittsburg, where it is damp and cold, colder than at New Haven. Left for Pittsburg 10 min. later or at 3 P.M. Had dinner and a shave, and then at 5 P.M., I was off for St. Louis, Mo. Leaving Pittsburg it begins to clear

of some, the county looks far better now if Pittsburgh than east of it. A coal county is always a neglected unhealthy county. The night closes in, the Pullman is my half full, all pleasant and for trial at 9.15 P.M. Wednesday March 8, 1922. Fine and bright this morning and the land is covered with a white frost. We are 10 minutes late, and make it of of to make it again at getting into the St Louis station. I rush for the Frisier connection to find out that the train is five 3 minutes. Evidently the Frisier are not in working order with the Penn. System. On enquiry I find I cannot do better than wait for the 6.45 P.M. Frisier. The Pullman Co will redeem my sleeper ticket and hand out it on to Mr. Clemans at Chicago, backed about St. Louis and bound.

and just in 3 1/2 hours at the City Library in reading Crabbe's good book Heredity and Environment. At 6.45 P.M. I am off on the Frisco's "Meteor" to Oklahoma City where I am due at 11.20 to board. The distance is 548 miles. From here here to Oklahoma City it must be 1600 miles or more. Thursday March 9-1922 I made up in the hardest rain storm ever seen by me in Oklahoma, and there is much slow lightning with little thunder. The rain at Tulsa is drowning out a flood. Again her devil and dismal this mold is. We are on time at Tulsa. Get to Oklahoma City on time at 11.30. It rained all day.

"sained all day. Attended the meetings in the afternoon of the Amer. Assoc. of Petroleum Geologists. In the evening gave a lecture on Outlines of South American Geology at the Chris- tian Church at 7.30. The lantern worked so badly and the screen too short to show the words facing the slides that my lecture did not go at all so smoothly. By d***'s f*** here in Oklahoma! Then attended the smoker mostly an entertainment. Not a mixing affair. Friday March 10 1922 Attended after day the meetings of the A.G. P.S. In the evening the banquet and here I responded to the toast Founder of American Geology. The dinner was good, the crowd sat for a good time, singing college songs, and later the speaking was led by Doctor O'Hearn. The G.A.P.S. paid my traveling expenses $100 and hotel boarding charges.

Saturday March 11 1922 A bright, warm day. Attended the morning meeting of the A.A. P.L. Mathen was elected President of the Association. Had Mr. Goldston to lunch. At 2 P.M. I am off with Stones to see his collection of upon Jackford forts. Learned much. Detail in small book. At 7 P.M. I go back to Oklahoma City and after supper write letters to McCoy, Mojan and Le Vere. Sent a night letter to Heath Primrose. Then saw Bean and talked to him about the Custer trip. He is willing if nothing interfuses to take me to Graham and Lunsight. Should let him know a day or two ahead so that he can arrange matters. Said I might be finished with Mober area by Wednesday Thursday.

Sunday March 12, 1922 Set off early and at 8.25 down on the Santa Fe to Fort Worth and the by truly to Dallas. The day is bright and cool. The Canadian river at Purcell is a very wide (1/2 tr 1 mile wide) and very shallow (probably less than 10 foot) fine muddy sand stream. Sands much puffed by water and wind. Some of the puffles made in a few inches of water are irregular hexagonal affairs with diameter of 6 to 8 inches, suggesting sun-cracking in appearance. The Canadian river reminds of the lower portion of the Platte. About 2 miles south of Davis on the Santa Fe one begins to enter the Cerro Gordo and the north slopes of the ridges are covered by coarse brittle limestone dipping to the south. Some hundreds of feet thick. Then is ended Paleozoic strata - thrust an anticline into a wide flat valley, south of Reyford. In this oval valley are the strata are Ordovician.

Okin n, The section would be like this. Franco Cymments, North Permian Rom.1000 fty. Camber-Ord. Rayfill Filled valley Deposits. Five exposures all about Crusher, To the north high folded but flatening towards crusher. All is Ordovician, about 1000 fty of Camb, and 9000 of Ord. Five exposures to the south of Crusher along railway at Washita Riv. Set for Fort Worth on time at 4.30. Then by Interurban Forty cost from here to Dallas. Staying at the Orient Hotel. In the evening at 8 called to see Heath Peterson at the Jefferson Hotel but he is out in his car all day. Dorsey Hayes Chatted with me near an hour after which I said a criticism of Oklahoma City about Mow

emulation in lit of. I said that the Karikat had Triamic forms, what I should have said was that the Karat had such. Hope thinks it easy to carry the emulations from place to place in the fusing of lithology. Hope Le n creed. Days Profform forepy is way off off in his emulation about Deckelly is in conflict also with Oartan. Will send me a copy of his emulation table and that I may show to Langwell. Days Le also noted the desert sand in the Creeaming. Refuses the Thinarump as a desert horn. At least he agreed with my views. Also agrees with me in regard to a southern land (Lornia) and a northern one (Utah or farther north). Think how much else there smaller lands. Is sorry he published a second volume to go with his old geology, no guide forms. And thus him.

Monday, Dallas Texas March 13 - 1922 Raining today. At ten o'clock called on Ah-Fibs and found him intensely busy. Then with Dr. O.C. Price and E.B. Stiles inspected the subsurface laboratory. Equipment very slight for foraminifera work, has two assistants in getting cores needed. Some Trias are marked out and others are gotten in sections. All in all little is to be expected since this a month for scientific work. Expect definite results as quick as asked, and the men have not time to get acquainted with the data which is all new to them. Price has not yet had time to go into the field and study the Cordovian outcrops. If they do not know the charac- ters of the outcrops how will they know from the underground ores.

asked all about the conditions of the iron and copper cutaneous but no one has any actual operations on ore there as to treatable lands. Where the Cutaneous goes under the Congrie it appears that a short distance to the east all of the Palaeogines are gone. One meets here with schist and to the south with granite. Mexia (pronounced here Mak-er) Field. Production great why the Perot mine about 120,000 barrels per day. Sometime Sumphrey Company daily yields about 45,000 barrels. The structure is said to be like this. Dr. Dr production here upthrow on West side Fault? Archel 200-300 feet, Oil shut 300'

In talking this afternoon with Mr. R. B. Whitehead of the Atlantic Refining Co it is clear that he thinks the Cretaceous and Cretaceous seas of Texas are those of a progressing retreat from Texas and Locomotives of the west. The Bradford as a sandstone does not go south of Mexico, and is thicker to the northeast and towards the Sabine Uplift. Above the Bradford line in mud and beds to the north of Kaufman Co. and are of continental origin. The salt deposits of West Texas lie in about the center of the Cretaceous progression. The curious thing I learned this after- oon of Whitehead was that a very dry hole in the Haed Bend limestone has been made a good oil well by drilling out as much as 450 gallons on fact and bend gives me about of nitroglycerine. Now they is that the bituminous material in the Bend limestone ``` ```json {

in a solid condition and the Reverend presume formation starts it to the fluid condition. The roots are erected in 1500 feet, or wells drilled later to this distance are dry holes from after shooting. Either this or the interwadded Hell shale gases can liberate them oil through the fracture. The wells often do it usually yield nothing from 5 to 20 hours after shooting, and the yield depends on about two years. After that the lighter gases rise to the surface and then be oil. Whithead thinks that are many years ahead of oil in new territory along the side of the Mississippi embayment all the way up to Cairo. Also in northern and especially northwestern Florida. Despite the companies slowed for more into the scientific side of oil prospecting and made use of the knowledge now to be gathered.

Mexia, Texas Tuesday March 14 - 1922 A fine bright cool morning and at 9:10 A.M. term off with Heath Robinson for Mexia. We arrived via Texas Southern at 12:10. Had lunch at the Drum Phelps Company and one P.M. we are off in a new Cadillac for the oil fields. For position of wells see large blue print map. Last year Mexica was a place of about 5000 and now it has probably 15,000 though 5000 more people are scattered over the oil territory. All appears to be grand emporium, every thing new, nearly a level is painted, and not building will last for a few years at most. There modern trucks, housing humanity; our many tent houses, corricle huts with a tank on the top. Road terrible and impenetrable on rainy days. It is no place for a civilized man, only for the young bunk or the almight

dollar. Near Mexico in a thin woods and a large spring is an old Reunion Camps Place of Southern soldiers, Humphreys is transforming the place into an amusement one for the people. The oil territory is to one side of it. The disarry well was drilled in last Autumn regular apr (1920), and the Hum- phreys Company has leased a tract of land from me to the east a half mile wide and about seven long. This track takes in the apex of the structural arch and claims the slope for near a mile to an old road [illegible] now known as the Golden Lane. On the other side of this lane about 100 other oil companies have leased land and not about 300 derricks stand on each side of this road. The object of the Humphreys Co. is taken out all the oil by care of the land of those companies, their own five ground they are and yet tracing. The Humphreys Co has about forty well

oil wells, atwrt 65 drilling and derricks for many miles. Today they are testing out atwr 240,000 barrels per day, though they have taken out as much as 90,000 barrels. The peak has been up to about 190,000 b, per day. The oil is Heavil at wrt 37 deg Baume and decides with a paraffine base. The first well yielded 13,000 barrels though reported at 30,000. Experimental oil men say it is the finest of the large fields with large wells ever hoped in America. Tshs estimates 90 million barrels of oil available. The oil is at the base of the duffer Cre. Taceus in the Dorroline sandstone. The sand is succeeding fine like that of Miami level Florida. Overlying this sand is the Eagle Ford Heavil shale and it is justly the source of the oil. Salt water is present under great pressure. The Drodthir is reached at atwrt 3000 feet.

"and three months It costs about $30,000 to drill a well and as there are already 30 of them, means an investment of nine million dollars. The Humphreys Co is getting $12 per barrel, and others at about $1 25. If the Humphreys Co get 40,000 barrels each day for one year the value will be about 26 million dollars for 14,560,000 barrels. The surface rock is the Ordovay lime- stone having a thickness of about 170 feet. Then through the whole of the Upper Cretaceous. This limestone in the oil field is arched trending north and south. To the north it is thrown to the faulted more than once. The faulting goes through the whole of the Cretaceous into the Ordovay. As that is nothing younger we can gof say that the faulting is of just Ordovay age. This system faulting may be the cul- mination of the Balomas Fault. The blocks are set down to the east and raised to the west. The structure is about as in the next page.

North of Crepica about 12 miles at Carrer I saw an oil well coming in. The oil has a 45 Baume. There is a dome here and about 12 wells are drilling; but an 3 producing. All expect a little field here, and hence all are cautious, but the Hum- phrys people are leading. Still farther the Humphrys have other structures in Kaufman county and they throw of others. Evidently there are vast quantities of oil to come in in this region, and the fields eventually may go into many hundreds of million barrels. The Midway as I saw it is a white highly fossiliferous limestone with almost no sand in it. In places the limestone is said to be ventricular, and in other bears more or less of fine sand. In my samples I thought I saw grains of fluvorinite.

Dallas Texas Wednesday, March 15, 1922 At eleven A.M. started out with Fiths and E. B. Stiles and Mr. Price to see the various Cretaceous localities to the east of Dallas. Did not get started until one o'clock, Fiths left a delay in. Passing over through Dallas towards Fort Worth we first ran on the Austin chalk about 400 feet thick, and then ran a town country across the Eagle Ford dark shales. Then ran a sandy country of the Goodtime sandstone. This is the last of the Upper Cretaceous. Then comes in the Wagon shales of the Comanchean and east of Fort Worth the county rises again on the Fort Worth limestone. In the Wagon we got a few points away are Cretaceous. In the Lower Fort Worth a few points out of a hard chalk.

and in a park in north part F, D. in the upper F. D. limestones a few ammonites. The ammonites are here very common but no horn fragments one can present since all were gathered up to make ornamental stone work in a Hamm Hatch, In real every case the only whole - living chantu- is hidden away, otherwise the specimens would be about 20 inches or even more in diameter. I saw almost no other fossils. The bird bone sandstone appears like The cement appears like lime. fine grained inclined only at the top. It is a fresh sand with broken shells though lenses occur made up of shells. It is a firm bedded fine sand with green of black shale that locally are lignites full of plant fragments, from many of those black shale there are shells and clams, but saw 2 or 3. Near the tip of the barn thing then is cementing some reflect with small fissures. The whole smoothers down in a loose sand that washes away leaving the surface around

with their sloppy pieces of firm-stone. Often the whole makes a reddish sort good for road material. All of this firm-stone appears to be due to secondary enrichment during weathering, leaching out the lime and replacing it with more len of lim. The sand is fine, as fine as Miami Florida sand, but at times somewhat craser, so exposes it appears to be unemortality. In the case of the Eagle Ford sand thin colorful layers that have pink lith and thin limes. Also a small Arcanumus Latistus. These shales creathy into yellow shifts red shales, The Austin shale is heavy reddish white a Huest white, and under weather fractures by effoliation and cracking. Under cover it dissolves but here under the little rain fall solution very slow. The Dallas find it hard.

As there is the dark Eagle Ford shale above the Birdline, the Birdline itself has dark lulls and lipinite, and the Mason Shale may also have dark shales. We can see why the Birdline has or much oil where the descending crusts bring it. The front called Linn Fox Knott may depose the Main Strut. The slot of gastropods is from the Main strut limestone.

Dallas Texas. March 16-1925 With Heath Petersom entered into Kaufman county, east and south east of Dallas. The county rises over the Austin chalk, a light blue or dirty clay with harder chalk beds, and top extends along road about 5 miles east of city. An abundance here of Staphlo- sophia fragments; shells may have been fine for day. Saw Jaren anus latistus Ostrea crypta, otherwise nothing of value. Then over a long distance of lawn land large good cotton farms on the very thick Parasso, somewhere about 2300 feet thick. One mile south of Kaufman on the road side saw a large bedded sandstone thought to be the Argattot sandstone reflect with fossils. Baculites here, Exogyra costata, Exothyaca (Vaye), small Gondylus and may other Pierre fossils. See the lot collected! This sandstone is mistaken 400-600 feet of the top of the Parasso. Eight miles north of Kaufman near

Chief are our the closed Midway Limestone, that occurs about so far above the base. Here is located a Humphrey well. The Midway limestone begins as a greenish sandstone with test fossils and it passes upward into a white limestone that is much altered fairly dramatically. It's reflate with good ammonite fossils. The fauuna is largely gastropods, mostly Turri- tellas. See the lot of forms. Then drive on to see the fore dome of College Ground where there is another Humphrey well. This dome shows the fat of ore, and one can trace the overused dip on over side very well. About 3/4 miles away this dome stands out fine. Further northeast at Elmer Staben another dome, and Humphreys well.

Col. A. E. Humphreys is the man of this world. Had lunch at Kaufman, and dinner at Tyrell. Drove back to dallas in the dark, and got to the hotel at 10 P. M. A very interesting day. Humphreys is from Denver, and has failed 2 or 3 times. An intense promoter. Has struck his natural fort at Mexico and expects to make millions that he will give for mining work. Was my sick a few years ago and around if he got well again that all the money he made he would give to miners.

Dallas Texas Friday, March 17-1922. Packed in a little box, intended not fit all into it. Had the hotel drop the box by Express collect. Some then a stamped envelope to enclose the receipt. Then called on Robinson and Fiths and said good-bye all thanks. At 11.30 Mr. and Mrs Robinson see me off to Fort Worth when I arrive at 12.30 called on Mr. Dr. C Bean, 1307 Joagsoner Building, Fort Worth, and he was ready to take me to Norman at once. Started at 2.15. Had supper at Stroman and at 7.30 in the dark we go to Earland via Ranger. Stopping at the Stanley Hotel, a rooming house. All the hotels in the small place are rooming houses. Restaurants you will are common. The hotels are pretty good.

Eastland, Texas Saturday, March 18, 1922. Got up at 6.30 and at 8 A.M. we are off to the north for the Bemisight localities. The morning is calm and dark in Texas. Later on it cleared up, but the day was very windy and dusty. All of our collecting today was in the Cisco series. Locality 2 on Plummer - Morris map. It is 7 miles N.-E. of Cisco, and 7 miles N.-W. of Eastland. The locality is just east of Cisco and North Western R.R., near the two stars be- side railroad in map. Horizon is between Bemisight and Breckenridge divorties, in Thurifty formation. This faunule is marled by large Seminula argentes and an abundance of Orby crana ad L. linnetti. Locality 1 on P.-M. map. The largest lot 7 mils. One mile S. of Bemisight and 1/2

miles E. of Leraz (>Libaty on map), Texas. In Hue shales just above Seminifer limestone. The topmost stratum, red and chalky. Fine Bernotha fauna of gastropods and bivalves. See pen in section. Then started over past Leraz and south to Cisco. At 8 miles N. of Cisco in Upper Breckinridge limestone found an abundance of Johora ferinae. Nothing else. Have a piece of the limestone. Locality (3) on P.-M. maps, just below Breckinridge limestone, 3 1/2 miles N.-E. of Cisco. Small fauna of no particular value. Locality (4) on P.-M. maps. About 10 feet beneath Upper Breckinridge limestone. About 6 miles N.-E. of Cisco, Texas. Fossils of little value. Screws collected at localities (2) and (1).

Graham, Young Co., Texas. Monday March 20-1922. Another cool but bright spring day. Before starting called on Mr. B. Cheney, the local oil geologist. He says he has cammities and will get them in one. Says they are not rare, but are rather limited to thin zones. Then with Bean went 8 miles S.-E. of Graham on North Mineral Wells Road. Collected here in the overlying Jacksonboro limestone, which Cheney says is 130' above the Canyon Series. The species are different here but did not get as large a lot as hoped for. Fragments of the cordiforms (Plate- cores group seen indicating these z. putamen. In the afternoon collected about 1 1/2 miles N.-W of Graham. One small area that has often been picked over. The horizon is the Weland shale.

Graham, Texas. Tuesday March 21- 1922. A bright morning. Started out alone on foot for the places in the Dayland shale to the south east of Graham about 1/2 miles. Found no fossils at either of the four places in this vicinity. Then looked up the A. B. Sant locality on the west side of Salt Creek at the dam of the Graham crater works. The fossiliferous Dayland shale is here high up the hill side and so little is exposed as to yield almost no fossils. This is probably due to taking out the rock when building the dam. At least no one will make a good collection here. It is nowhere equal to the one collec- ted from yesterday. At the dam the Sunlight limestone is a very muddy limestone - one hardly can call it a limestone - is about one foot thick and just above it in the shale occur the fossils. Above the shale is a very thin sandstone

this in the Aris sandstone the basal member of the thrifty formation and conglomerate (have 2 small pieces) that is older rock material. It lies uncom- formably on the dayland, and cuts into the latter very irregularly. The pebbles of the conglomerate have not come far. The sand- ostone is much cross-bedded, and the whole is an irregularly bedded formation that cuts into the dayland shale. At the dawn the section is as follows Aris sandstone-conglomerate 15 to 20 ft. unconformity (lens?) dayland shale (from in from 3 ft) 10 n Lensight limestone. Day impulse 1 n " Shale (blue-blue- blue) 60 n " Sandstone in creek 10 n At 3 P.M. called in Mr. Cheney to see his fossils. Had me Smithwick examine but came as he thought of the dayland. The surprise, known, was a slab with five five crinoid heads. Hope I may get it, but he wants to give it to his alma mater Cornell. It has 2 species. The design of Berger limestone. I am to see the

in Berwyn limestone. I am to see the locality tomorrow, and as near Ben Mountain. Cheney asked me to supper at his home, and that he would call for me at 6.30 P.M. I waited until 7 P.M. and he did not call nor send word. In going out for supper I noticed lights in his office and found him in talking to two field girls who drew him not dry plane twice more. He paid no attention to me and 7.20 I told him I was tired of waiting and left his office. Cheney is so absorbed in making money that he has no time to be polite. This is a sad comment to make about a college test man. His invitation was of his own making, and he volunteered to take me anywhere on his car. All of this is now three away!

Graham, Texas, Wednesday, March 23-1922 A bright day. At 9:15 A.M. started south in the Wichita Falls and Southern R.R. from Tongue [illegible] to South Bend. Don't Bend. Got there at 10 in a mixed train. Then started 2½ mile N.-E. for an outlier known as Bean Mountain, where the whole of the South Bend shale is exposed. Fossils are good but very scarce. Got about 50 specimens and nearly all of these occur about 10- to 20-foot beneath the top. Of ammonites got a few fragments but nothing good. Limestone caps the outlier and at its base occurs the final limestone of the Canyon series, Lee Keysl. A whole day for little progress. Returned to Graham on the 5 P.M. mixed train. Don't Bend is burning, that is building of the Cheyenne shortly town to catch the oil men. One fire would burn it up and the Los Angeles would care for it as a dismal place.

Pleimner and Morris report say that been exposed the Benge limestone, adja. followed on top by 100' of shale. The limestone is well exposed in the Wichita Falls R.D., just before it crosses the Brazos Bridge, At Ben Mountain the limestone is well up- exposed on the Brazos River side, at the base of the mountain. All is the shale to the top where then is a thin sandstone. Above the Benge li. is probably 100' fet of North Bend shales and sandstones. Nearly all of my fossils come from the upper 30 fet of blue clays. Also some few from middle darker shales. The species are the same; they are few of these from the darker shale. Look at Pleimner's report once more.

Jackstoro, Texas, Thursday March 23 1922 Left Graham at 6:47 A.M. for Jacks- town and got here at 8 A.M. Then walked 3 1/2 miles southeast on Rock Island Railway to a deep cut capped by limestone, followed Jackston beneath by noduliforms yellow anorthizing shale for about 10 feet, and then a blue sticky clay with occasional nodules and test prints that these are comparatively rare. More than 2/3 of the forms gotten come from the lower clays at all the formations dip to west. the eastern end of cut. The species appear to be common to both. Marginifera losallensis most common above, with Fusulina and Phylloidmella keeni, but several specimens of goniatites of this species. One of the specimens is fine. The horizon is in the Middle Jackston. Gummery Brooker 53-8. The limestone has shale layers filled with sometimes the shale limestone is made of them. Jura Camptophyllum Torquicum. They are held down from the Canyon series. There are several limestone horizons to the east of Jackstoro, and near the railway station here is a third zone of limestone. This day out for town. Dad and I have 60 species from the above locality but I doubt of share more than 45 forms.

Got back to Jackson at 2 P.M. and had to drag around the dead town un- til 9 P.M. It was not tiresome. Got back to Graham at 10.30 P. M. in a heavy thunder shower.

Graham, Texas Friday March 24 - 1922 The alkaline nature of this place makes one or well depressed that life is not worth living. I cannot eat anything, everything sticks all taste after the alkalis. Packed all the food gathered from the Pennsylvanian into three paper boxes and shipped by Express, took a receipt. Each one weighs 27 pounds. Left on the Rock Island R.R. at 4:30 P.M. for Fort Worth, arrive tomorrow promptly at 9 P.M. Put up at the Term- inal Hotel.

Fort Worth, Texas, Saturday March 25-1922 At 9.30 called on Mr. Dr. C. Bean of the Empire Co., and was with him until 1.45. Called on him again at 3.15. Talked over underground geology of the Bend series, and as to the Cretaceous overlaps. and manure The Bend Arch is most decided in the San Saba outcrops and then plunges and flattens out to the north. Or the south outcrop the Bend has a thickness of about 600 feet of which about 400 is Limestone, on a line to the north, Fort Worth the thick- ess is about 1600 feet, the greater portion of which is Rock Shale though in most wells the limestone is present in the lower part of the series. The limestone is not persistent to the south seeming only like shale towards the east. Or the north end then sandstones are added showing land to the E or N.E.

"At the latitude of Borneo Co, the Dan Data section is continued but here in most of the wells some thin sands are present. These may have come from the Dan Data uplift rather than from the eastern land. As the Bend thickens to the north and becomes once and one mud, and as some sand is introduced under Eastern Daly Pinto county it would look as if the Bend Sea terminated into a bay towards the N.E. This would explain the abrupt general asymmetry of the Bend confound with the Monroe-Dropannella. This would mean northwest southeast a Wreckle-Lanoria landbarian.To the north of this land lay the Monroe Sea, and the greater subsiding personline onto its 12,000 feet of Plenty at Jackford, To the south of the Lanier Day the Bend Sea coming in from Donora. See map beyond in Bend Arch.

The latine uplift may not have been caused by the Cumanachia, and Cutaeum seas. In the paper before the U.S. P.S. In this event Latinia was a peninsula to the west of which lay at any landing in a cul de sac to the N.E., while to the east lay the [illegible] peninsula with entanglement. How does this affect the distribution of Congria deposits? The geologist due appear inclined to think Lannica was all gone in Cumanachia time other than the part of Latinia. Therefore the Cumanachia is a Gulf invasion followed by those of Cutaeums and Congria times. Why is the Cumanachian or colcaerum to the west? Shreepoor is on the latine uplift; it lies in the La. and Tucas line south of Arkansas line. The latine arch trend I. N. across Louisiana about like this Latinia -> [drawing of map] For detail see Bull 4, 1905, Pl. 37 of La. Survey. Also see Hill, U.S. G.S. Ann. Rep. 1899. Also

Stephensom Prof. Paps. 120 H. 17. The Latin ark is younger than Chidway formation. In Balamos Fault see Creding Co. and Bexar Co. reports of Texas. Thought to continue in eocelon fashion to near Red Rim and south to San Antunir when it begins to swing to over into the Marathon country. In general the trim 1 come hundreds of feet is to S.E., but the re- verse is also true. Bean says at least one Hock 3 miles wide is dropped down some hundreds of feet. What's the significance of this movement or official faulting? of the fault, and when was it made? Cuts all formations including the mid-way. Air high shots are at Rand. A well in Dallas penetrated the Cret. and Comanchian and extend the Pennsylvanian (probably the Shum). Once on its first's come away before Com. time,

In the latitude of Dallas but to the over the Strawn thickens very rapidly to eastern Palo Pinto and then becomes humulated to east by eastern uplift and creeping away. Bean has plotted the various sections. Smithsonia under Palo Pinto thicken rapidly to east and is finally more than 500 feet thick. Some of the upper Marble Falls does goes over into shales. Under Fort Worth The Bend is all dale, and shale limestone see Grates and in Texas reports. Dear eastern side of Palo Pinto then zones of sandstone are introduced. In Brown Ct. Bean describes up to 20 feet thick of sandstone, some that I saw are fine sands another was coarse sand, and a third was cryptomatic. In the exposures of the San John area sands are not there in the Marble Falls limestone.

"The Bend Arch and announced in south. The deeper Bend lies in Archer, Clay, Jack, Wise, Parker, Tarrant, and Johnson counties, Texas. To the north it rises again. As to the east there is no information. Granite was drilled into in northern Clay county, and against this granite the Bend arises. Look this up in my Paleogeographic maps. The Bend in all shale under south- southern Edwards, northern Hvalde, central Archer and southern Bandera counties, to the northwest of the San Saba uplift. In southwestern Kimble county the Bend has some limestone, and it is because of this occurrence that the Black Shale of the western counties is correlated with the Bend. This looks like evidence of the Bend fauna coming in across Imora. All of these places are now deep below the Cretaceous. Adder lines some about these deep ores.

In Evangeline county, Louisiana in the Lafayette grarbs occur commonly chest pettles that look to Wilson (former of of Missouri survey) like those of the Mississippia of Iowa. These fossils mostly cribrid others. He will send some tr are as they are exceedingly common and coned out. Have come far. See Harris' La. report about these pettles. If these fossils are Miss, how did they come to this place? Lie on a salt dome seem- ingly. If they are Penn, maybe they could have come thru S.E. Oklahoma. From the fossils and lithology I see no transitions from the Comanchian into the Cretacens. The latter starts in with the Droodtime sands ad limite, and they overlie the chalky Comanchian limestones. If both are crustal overlaps what is the nature of the rock casting dup legiy Comanchia or Cretacens. These hmm.

Where does all the salt of the salt domes come from? No one knows, but the oil people seem inclined to think they are deep grey salt beds. If so what is their age? They seem inclined to think they are of Permian age. Hardly! Can it be that they are of Comanchia age, against old Llannia now sunken into the Gulf of Mexico? There appears little or regular or linear arrangement of the salt domes. When did they arise? No answer other than they are still forming, since they dome the former of geologic deposits.

Fort Worth, Texas Sunday, March 26, 1922 Got up late, read the daily papers and tottled around in the morning. At 7.15 Dr. C. Bean called and in his car took me to his home for dinner, there I met Mr. and Mrs. Wilson, a chief field girl of the oil company operating mainly in Louisiana. He appears to be well informed, a good talker and does not hesitate to express his opinions. Told me of the continuous differences between Wilkox and Driller, and Wilson thinks that in general the latter appeared more acceptable than the former. She spoke exceedingly well of Dallas now at Rollin as a principal and teacher. Being a small town and unfortunate in society does not get one much. Wilson is a student of Calvary's. Late in the afternoon the Beans went out to Lake Worth, the water supply tank

for Fort Worth, this a good body of water dammed across a stream, making a lake some mile in length. On the hillsides at and the dam seem the fort Conanchin locality. It was too late to examine the place for frogs.

Fort Worth, Texas Monday, March 27 - 1922 At eleven in the morning got started in Ardmore, Oklahoma. Hope to over here to manner Mr. Coy, Hornes and Majan. Than for the Arbuckles and the Hinton formation. On time at Ardmore. Put up at the New Ardmore where I met Mr. Majan, Mr. Hornes and Mr. Mainard. Talked over the trip and will start out in the morning.

Anderson, Texas.

Armore, Texas. Tuesday, March 28-1932. A dark morning and cold. Start out at 8 A.M. for the Arkacis, We first went northward to Henry House Creek about 3 miles east of Dorroford to see Reeds Henry House section of the Stanton formation. The stream falls on the hard and thick redded Chimney Hill formation. About the only fossils seen in it where several orthocones. Reeds give the thickness as 20 feet. The time of this limestone is Brass field or early Silurian. Then a break in sedimentation that one does not see it in the sequence, Than follows the Henryhouse shaly lime- stone through a thickness of 170 feet. It is a series of muddy limestones, probably with shale zones, that on the surface weather down to a yellowish color with an occasional zone of a reddish color. On fresh fracture probably the whole is a light blueish color. Saw our chalk in this series. Fossils are very rare other

than some crystalline matter. Otherwise the only fossil seen was a small Atrypa that gave me the impression of small Q. aspera. In the termond 10 to 16 feet a number of thin reddish hard limestone sticks out and these Reeds used to limit the top of the Henry house. This theory of separation has no value. Then follows the Staregan formation of the same kind of shaly limestones as the Hemphouse. Reeds gives the thickness as 82 feet. About 13 feet above base near occurs a Camerocinus, and here was also seen a large Spiridula longicostensis but with almost no plications. In the zone fossils appear more common but practically none weather out free. This takes one nearly to the top of the hills. Then comes in the Bois d'Arc series of somewhat poorer and harder limestones that weathers out as one ascends in the series more and more chart. It is harkened not a

"our cheery weather limestone. The thickness is pretty Reeds as big fat. In the same forms are far more conspicuous and much often Phacops sculptilis. Finally at the top the last reef of limestone display many crinid stems of Mariacrus, one of which are one inch in diameter. In the minds of this reef is a thin crystalline ted fully fossil and here we saw Phacops logeni, large tails of Dal manites, Phacops sculptilis, D. cylindricus, Atrypa reticu- laris, Leptaena chondriclei, Athron- ella punctulifera, Encimulus, Rhynchonella tialocata, and small Dalmanelleae ad Pholidomella. Mr Phacops macropleura here. Defeat but four of these forms and any three for further identification. Then came the broad flat chest. From this it would be seen that all of the Bois d'Arc in reality Gregm and bear out the least to support any thing higher as the Reynard and especially Mr Cristany. Furthermore what I saw shows that the

Henrydase and Hana jan are me serie of deposits without heat and m are jnta- hility are all to be referred to the Luron Dormian. The line of separation of the harder limetone has no stratigraphic significance. "Bris d'Ace" from tin 69' "Hana jan formation " 82 ftb. All dam fortland Frois. Dmud chat.

Then drove to Besoryn on the Santa Fe Railway, and then three miles north to see the Caney and Drop anuccella portion of the Pennsyl- vanian. Myself and J agreed that there is no head here from the base of the Caney up into the Pennsylvanian. The Black Cany through the top becomes sandy once and once ad then a clay sandstone. The transition continuing into the Penn, the then beds of sandstone become fine and less at lastly all becomes blue-grey sands. There here about 1600 feet of Caney. Then here in probably 2000 justly basal Pennsylvania before the then reds and limestone come in. These occasional zones, we open for about 200 feet, and carry the Drop anuccella fauna of diminutive forms. See my collection; the second one made. The earlier one was made from years ago. We then walked along the Santa Fe R.R. north to near Crusher to see the lag Ordovician sections. The total thick- ness is between 1760 and 2000 feet of

min is between 5760 and 9000 ft. Of this 4000 to 6000 ft in Astrella = Beed mountains. Then at 6 P.M. turned north across the mountains, and drove 23 miles to Lulphin area are stopped one night.

Duluth - Aug 24, '84,

Dolphin - Daupherty, Olla, Wednesday March 29 1922 Started at 8pm Dolphin at 8 A.M. and set to Cress locality number 5 on branch of Rock Creek, one mile north of Daupherty, at 9:30. Again started in just below the Randolph chert at the top of the Bois d'Arc. Here as before are very common large stroms of Mariaeimus and within the common fossils are Spirifer cygneterus, S. sculptilis, Meristella atoka, Conotheca cinerea, A. reticularis, Anastrophia and Dalmanites. The Bois d'Arc is fairly Cress as far as thick. It has considerable chert thick weathering. In the lower half fossils are far more common and here many Spirifer sculptilis are present also with Lepy, Chondidoli, Meristella atoka, the large Pholidomella and many of the agglutinate Creynans fossils. Also Billings criculus. All of the Bois d'Arc in Creynanus and not from the younger beds.

"Holmsfelv" Then the Harejor formation as elsewhere of softer muddy limestone for 112 ft. Here the Creymans fossils in greater abundance. Then the Stronghouse formation capped at the top as elsewhere by hard li. Thick beds. Then the Chimney Hill limestone Again I see no evidence (lithologically) to distinguish the Stronghouse ad Harejor formations from the Bois d'Arc. All appears to agree to be the earliest known Neornia sequence. Are then drive again to three miles north west of Donahue, and to the east of the Santa Fe R.R. to a place where an oil well capped by fire has been drilled into an Ordovician dome that gets a very thick oil, practically an asphalt. Here in a small stream within a quarter mile of the well one sees the top of the Viola lime- stone, a brittle light colored thin fidded lower stone. It has much erminulated fossils,

among them not common are Phymatostroma cephal, and many fragments of manor bedded lll genus that must have been ten with a mile in length. Richmond fossils in the Circle. Taff says continue down to 300 feet. Conformably but rather sharply follows upwards? even 300 feet of Aylran shale that near the bottom are chocolate colored and lamar ocellated limestone. Near the base of this Aylran occur in very large space Heliographus and rare Climacograptus. There are shells green ten foot of Shales, and then occurs a thin chocolate colored impure limestone that has the same graptolites and an abundance of Lingulids, and some rare small Schizocrania and a large Lingula. Hither the shucks are very good of shale. See these four lots of fossils. Which refers these Aylran Shales to the Ordovician but they are clearly better referred to the Richmondian, as as soon the upper 300 feet of the Circle. The Richmondian is here therefore about 600 feet thick.

Our my muddy roads are more slow and hard driving to get to Grey Creek, but it rained all afternoon and we concluded not to try. After much labor with the car and engine we reach at 5.30 Dunfermline when we put up in the night. Morgan tells me that on the north side there are many limestone conglomerates, and that these usually called the Trogos often traced around are seen to interfinger into various levels of the Boggys. Furthermore as we approaches the close of the Pennsylvania whose groups appear made up of large field- morgan calls the Porttatoe conglomerate, and opens. These conglomerates and arkoses can make head more than 40 miles out from the Cathneels mountains. The evidence appears to be that the limestones and finally the arkose is derived from an Athneelle dome in Penn- sylvania time. That the limestone bodies fall signs up to 6 miles across could not have been transported hundreds of miles in

have been transported hundreds of miles in certain fine thin nature since the majorette are now subdivided, if transported far they could have been ground either completely away or to small parts. In all of this we seem to see a Articelle dome in Pennsylvania time. I understand that sometime enclimates also occur in the Carey, where due may near a shore line still preserved. Morgan tells me that he has the mapped evidence to show that the Bozzy is a transgressive formation over the Articelle dome. The Bozzy has a thickness of about 2000 feet and relaps unconformably on formation down to the Kibla. The Franks enclimates was originally thought to relate the Brabannela as typical of early Penn. age. Morgan says the Franks is faulted against the Brabannela, as as one traces the Franks around in continued strips it is seen to interfinge with the Bozzy.

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.

Has some minute fossils and crinoidal material out of the Doggerne, nearly all are bryozoa but cannot identify any. Collected one of this fauna the next day. Has some genuine Scapanella fossils and saw Spirigra gregii and the elongate Pentremites. All are in a bad way. Holds that the Boggz shale is an invading formation from the east across the unexplained surface of the Autneddle one. The Boggz has the Orewoda little fauna. Limestone crinometes are said to appear in the Carey. Franks crinometes not so old as assumed and not of the time. But a series of limestone crinometes that interfine join into the Boggz. Those come from the south - the higher land - and are the shore deposits moving into the marine Boggz.

Finally after Boggys Time comes in an arkosic conglomerate, indicating that the 7000 to 9300 feet of earlier Paleozoic lime- stone had been eroded off the granites. & this where the bulk of the material is feldspars with pieces of two or more inch clay, showing in this that in late Pennsylvanian time the climate development was dry and desert like. There was no folding in the Arbuckles at the close or during the Mississippian. The Caney is conformable on the older strata. The mountain making came late in Pennsyl- tvania Time apparently in early Osage time or at the close of the Caney equivalent

Ada, Oklahoma Friday, March 31-1922. Started out with Morgan, Stines and Brainard at 8.30. Cold morning after the rain, The day cleared up fine. First collected in a cut of the Santa Fe R.R. near turn-pike about 7 miles due south of Ada. Origin near base of Carey Shales. The fossils while all came from limestone thinings that weather into septaria. Here got a lot of small goniatites. Then collected about 8 or 9 miles south of Ada in Juellfork Creek where the road crosses the creek. This is on the west side of Section 36, about 6 miles S., and 1 mile E. of Ada. Here got a lot of cone goniatites and three slabs with various things. These are also out of concretions near the base of the Carey. Large tub rug from Carejillas reef in the black shales. These Zorn Canyon fossils are fine hereabouts.

Than farther south to where the road comes Bris d'Arc creek and Rees lo- cality number 41. Here are some about 3 furl of a fossiliferous erguina layer of grind stems. The fossils collected are all of the uppermost 2 to 3 feet and have specific determinations: S. munchisoni, Threcharius oralis and other Upper Cretaceous backshores, but the list not true. They are good only for design determination. Overlying the fiddle erguina occurs 2 to 3 feet of what appeared to me not to be a clay but material like the Camden novacalite. It had no fossils. It is probably down a residual chalk. The middle of the Bris d'Arc is given as 30 feet. The next may be [illegible] and. Than a little farther south are collected on a farm a small fauna out of the dogamne lime- stone, here 2 to 3 feet thick. These fossils were determined at T.I.C returned to Mayan. They are in Section 11, 2 R, 6 E,

The fauna follows directly the Durod pool and appears to me to be Liodutroa, and say Liodutroa at that. Has Permian old runs. On the tip of the Durod pool recurs a bed less than a foot thick that is often replete with crood. Saw a good deal of such crood and took a specimen. It is evidently from this zone that one trunk collected by Reed comes from. We then went on to the mile due S. of Trumb's to see Reed's locality no. 9, n 9 of Quentars map. I did not see the stream spoken of by Reed but we went across the farms. Below the Durod pool recurs much ocher that has striatopora, a large form branching irregularly. Then came in a highly crystalline limestone evidently the half the Bois d'Arc since it had the repu- lation New Zealand fossils, as Spirifera

Gracileleura, I. sculptilis, I. cycloptera. Large Platyceras, Stephnella punctulifera etc. This Hangman gneiss here 140 ft thick according to Reeds and the lower 20 ft are filled with Comacrucinus. I never saw or many at one time before, in the plain cottonfields. The balls could be seen afar, and by wealth of the land calcareous shales. Then Reeds gives 12 ft of Hangman here from the farmland land scored in no foot. What makes it Hangman'd on our determine. Then came the Chining Hill in four limestone ridges. Reeds gives the thickness as 33 ft but we can mean 100 ft. Ooliths grow, for 3 to 5 ft thick are conspicuous here, and here occur ooliths 3/16 inch across. Why is the

Chinnyhill or thiot here? Is the section repeated through faulting?

Ada, Oklahoma Saturday, April 1-1922 Started out at 8.30 A.M. with Mapan, Stoner and Brinad. First examined the great cement oolites at Lawrence to the southwest of Ada. Have seen very extensive quarries in the uppermost Vistla, where fossils are not easily to be seen. Much of the li. has been diagenetically altered and appears to be a propagasic li. or low dolomite. Other layers are fine li. The face of the quarry may be 20 feet high. Near fragments of Rileus, Platystophin tipata, Dreyfomera, Rafinesquina and a very large Lingula. Farther east among the quarries comes the topmost beds of the Vistla in exposure. Here Rhynchotrema capax, Plectambrites sericens etc. About 1/2 mile farther east are the quarries in the upper Sylurian shales, but some of them not the slightest fossil remains. The after ten feet dare become indurated in their beds and concretions

due to aerial erosion that came down through the Clinton (Chimney Hill dolomite). Silurian probably underlay it. Erosion in the Ashtman division primarily in the Chimney Hill dolomite among here about 60-90 feet in thickness. One sees long exposures line of the contact and somewhere in the live more than 78 miles part of the plane. The basal few miles of the Chimney Hill is mainly a crinoid limestone with some fine Goldrenas, me down on about one inch deep. Also Orthotheta sulphurina. About 30 inches deeper is a bed of Clinton (see the silicified lrock that I have talked). Part of the Chimney Hill, probably 5-10 feet of it in dolomite, small and the large ones. Much of it has been changed into silica. See the specimens. These quarries are fine to see for the upper upper Clinton and the upper Ashtman shale. Then started in to study Reeds brook (2) North Fork of Jackson Creek section.

We then drove one mile south east of Larence and began to study the Hunter series. On the road side was a fine exposure of the last of the Chimney hill, the pink crinoidal lages. Crulping disconformity is the Henryhome calcareous light green shale that overthaws to a light yell with-white clay. Here founs are not rare but we must collect intently to get Dejourra. Here I saw the Cribblefield nanm- leaded Calymene, Acaste, Dalmanitz, Encimurus, Proetus, small L. crinoidal, small Strophnella, probably several species Dalmanella and Phipidmella, Orthotheta sufluanus, several Syphidula paleata of the Diluvia type, Atrypa small of the aspera type, Orevistella as of the young of atolla Ferestella ad Lemicrconium, Faroites Lemikhuie small form and a branching form. All of the above came from the basal 10 feet of Reeds 22 feet. gone. Morgan has all of the material collected.

About so far above the base of the Henghorne in the same kind of material I saw the same species but much rarer. Here Bipidula paleata attain a much larger size; also here Anastrophia (small), Orthos tondardi like, We then drove further east and collected at about 100 feet above the base of the Heng- horne. Common A. reticularis (large), Muder- dina, Hemoeopina (crase plicatum, as short), Stiripon oculiftilis (of me seen), Meristella (at atrka), Bipidula paleata (still small), Orthothek sulplanus, Lep. shmtridoli, Stroph. punctulifus, Dolmanella elegantula, small Rhpidomella, large Rhpidomella, Bilbites varica (small), Micinulus, Rhyg. neglecta, A. libr. whitiana, Dictyonella, Limeanella, Stiptulasoma, small Lewis/kourt Farosib, Calymone, Acacoti, Dolmanus (all till nows rare).

Here dor Skirifn sculptilis, and the Ophidya, common beneath Calgoretee two feet The Dictymellas occur in a two feet bed at any 10-12 foot above the Camascerinn grre. The single valves are not rare. They are therefore in the basal Devonian formation. In none of the previous gres does one see the typical New Portland fauna; it appears to me to be all of Regan time ad even including Oldu Red, and yet then appears to me Onr To Be Lee mr Silurian Pommo- for fauna.

and their industry does not represent the true New Scotland and seen yesterday with D. macrpleurus, but still helps him grow, a in the top of the Crymans. He saw rare Carasaurus about 3, but higher than the one with them or around it. I am now asking myself if the 30 fut of Bris d'Arc seen yesterday was all Dristan? It maybe that of the upper 3 fut collected from yesterday maybe Distan, the rest true New Scotland with D. nigrum macrpleurus. In the wood find saw a circularly striated marking that appeared to me &c a piece of the body chamber of a Gastrio- ceras. Major had also collected the same marking elsewhere and thought it to be a firebre. I saw it later and concluded it best referred to as Gastriroceras.

and concluded is has referred to as Batim-- I am now satisfied that Reeds and I ought may in referring the Henry House to the Lelumbian. It now appears to me that all of the Henry House is has referred to the Bermian and is equivalent to the Barlin, and a good part of the Keyan. The Creymans is in the Warepan and in Hayes more a len of the New Jort- is in the Bris'd'are. land. There is Mr Becroft.

It seems from Reeds' work that the Tuff Oriskany is developed in Coral Creek (Reeds mr 14). Here it is said to be 27 feet thick, the basal 2 feet being a arguina. It may be that it was this 2 feet that are collected from yesterday, the remaining 25 feet or being typical Oriskanian. Look into this and tell Morgan about it. Later he said he would look into the matter. It therefore appear that Oriskany comes in at Bois d'Arc (3 feet thick) and seemingly thickens to the south east.

Ada, April 2 1922 Sunday. Started out in a threatening day to see the Drapanuella - Canyon sequence. About one mile South of Francks stopped to see the Franck's conglomerate and was surprised to see in it hundreds of joints and silicified Camarocrinus fossils. The Hunton is my about two-quarter mile away, and in middle Pennsylvania time the Hunton was exposed overlying at those Camarocrinus and definitely then not far away from the source of the Hunton. Today the Francks and Hunton are in fault relation with a throw of over thousands of feet. Then drove to Canyon Creek in Section 8, Township 1 N., Range 7 East. This is in a straight line 15 miles South-East of Ada and the roads go about 19 or 20 miles. Here the Drapanuella is dominantly a sandstone - shale series with several zones

I came a few thin limestones and prolific shales. In the uppermost limestone, the thicker vein saw only locally across a Products and crinoidal matter. Fossils of no value here. The whole of the Drapanucella Ogyan shale is about 700 foot thick, the thickness depending on where the line between the Careys and the hidden Penn. is drawn. He draws the (curve line at the first dimunute headhole in the Carey, and the upturn at the last limestone. The sequence here as at Bernwyn appears into a continuous one. Near the middle of the Drapanucella in this folded limestones are blue shales for the largest bit of fossils. Any raref is a slate of a Perchemites seen here. Slightpond is common here. See the list of fossils. Near the base of the Drapanucella in blue shales, fossils are common but

from. How many Peritumts occur along with delicate Pyrgoma and some haedo. Three hundred feet down in the Carey occur then Haeck cardostomes that have reputation Carey forms, [illegible] goniates like those with Berrygn. In addition a little goniates with a deep umbilicus studded with ordes and described by Suty. Also a large as a small Orthoceras, Cruraria like crustula of Kansas City, Cuvocardin large and elongate, Tornoderas, Leida two species, Schizodus, Botthemia and other gastropods, Leinychachus carmi- ferum, Lingula, Orbiculoiden, and possibly a Hadrophylum more like the Onisoidell form. See for more beyond. Then drove in once D.E to another [illegible] locality that had some cardo- stomes. It rained and one did not get to the final locality. This locality is in Crall.

Creek, one of Reeds Hurtn localities, when the Osilany is said to occur. Told this to Morgan and he said he would look it up for me and de- termine if Quilany is here. It appears to Morgan that the Caney or Canyon Creek goes unbroken into the Drapa- nucka. This is also my view, That of the Caney fauna collected today begins to introduce Pennsylvanian forms, while the Drapanucka carries Chester bed ores.

Ada, Sunday April 3-7-22 Packed three boxes and shipped them by express collect. It is raining again today: Drayman and Brainerd called to say good bye, and then they ran off into the field. Left at 12:05 on the Frisier for Tulsa where I will arrive at 6 P.M. Can leave for Bartlesville at 10:45 and for there at midnight, or at 8 A.M. to morrow. Concluded to stop here to night.

"Cincinnati April 6-1922 Called on Karl and then Altus this morning and had lunch together. At 4:30 Altus called for me and we went to his home at Homewood for the night. Emma also with Altus family were together for the evening for a family reunion. Friday April 7-1922 Visited the Cincinnati University in the morning and called on Prof. Ferriman and Doretta Beycher. In the evening the entire Schnuckert family was at Emma's house for dinner. A jolly crowd."

Saturday April 8-1922 Spent the morning at the Best Art Gallery, and the afternoon visiting in Newport and the East End of Cin. Albert took Phil and I to his club the old Cewir club and gone to the dogs, into the homes of the local politicians and news paper men. There in my science here not for the painter tay only eating, drinking and gambling. It's a trum place and I am sorry to see Albert putting up with such men. There in a good collection of birds and fish and small mammals here. It is to be said that Devere is at such a far left in Cincinnati. Ferreman tells me that the Cin. Over Hot this, das also lot of useful men.

Sunday April 9-1922 Cen. It rained during the night. A high Sunday and near noon we are up in Price Hill to spend the day at Phil's home. In the afternoon strolled around Echo Hill Park forming the home of the furniture man Kloosterman. At 9 P.M. got started for Pitts- bury. Monday April 10-1922. Fine high day at Pittsburgh and came to Ohio John.
