Little Cument August 10 1912 Saturday. Rained all night and up to 8.30 G.M. Did not start the weather looking too bad. In the afternoon Mr. Turner launched us across the waters to south side of Great Croke island and we then walked about 4 1/2 miles north on the new railroad but did not get traced. The island is almost flat and prac- tically without soil. There is therefore but a small fresh spring in most cases in the joints of the limestone. He began in about Middle Trenton Limestone and probably got down into the top beds of the Bloed Biah. One of the prominent fossils throughout are the beds except the way known is Receptaculites ovoni. In the higher beds we get Sponisceres but probably not anceps as the septa are order of arch. A little lower and as far as one must are get the typical B. anceps. Saw no large Ormoceres nor Clemmeria, Streplasma corniculum scandal thimbley. At about mid distance saw and got Leperditia fatidica associated with Q. vicenaria and Q. petricella. Just how and therefore are passed through.
