Left Owen Jornd on the stage at 2 P.M. for Meaford where I get at 6,15 P.M. Eight miles east of Owen Jornd the Turnpile has cut through the Clinton Shales and then appeared to be a fair chance of getting some fossils, although the shales arehe spotted with glacial material. We are changed horses, 1 & ten miles east of O. J. it appeared to me as if the Niagara rested directly on the Richmond. I could not got out to see the limestone which appeared to be rather clearer bedded than the Clinton. Of course it may have been the Clinton after all. The Richmond rests here again the high-red shales. This all Clinton and Niagara for ten miles east of Owen Jornd, the then 10 miles in to Meaford is all on the Richmond a long Cincinnati. Meaford August 18-1912 Sunday It rained hard all last night and there is a drizzle all this morning. Laid low and was lazy.
