Cheaford, July 24-1912. Wednesday. Started out with Williams to see the Richmondian of Workman's Brook about 2 1/4 miles east of Cheaford (Paul's Hotel). Just where the Railway crosses the brook one has a fine view and good exposures of blue-green shales with an occasional thin limestone band. Whittaker said those beds are Eden but one had no more than picked up a few fossils when one had a Chordilipus Perldiformis, it was loose however. The slabs are beautifully marked with Tucoida and among them saw the clump- tele from hut with an axis about 2 1/4 inches long. Pentagonal crinoids stems are abundant and many fine branching Trigona. Saw a splendid tridbite track while I gave to Williams. We only now proceed up the brook into higher beds. The blue shales continue at least up to the road bridge, there a lot of fossils marked between and over railway bridges. Thickness of beds palest now about 20 feet. The only brachiopods or far seen are Geospira modesta and possibly may be known Refingquira mitella. Plec. Serricena Anningochia radiata and
