We then proceeded below the railroad bridge to Georgian Bay water level. Thickness of these beds is 140 ft., it is a series of blue shales almost hard limestone bands but that are not animal hygro will crimit stems goes that harden the shale m[ages]. These beds remind much of the Eden at Cincinnati but the forms are in all probability Richmond though they may come down some into the Upper Lorraine. I see no typical Lorraine, as found in Ohio, and certainly no Eden as Whittaker supposes.[I may conclude as we have seen later] The Richmondian gore area is one of the finest sections, made a lens with fossils, that have been in a long while. From the shore level (Georgian Bay) up to the highest part of Holland and Bird exposures, a distance along the windings of the streams of at least 2 1/2 miles, 574 feet of beds are shown accord- ing to barometer reading. Corrected the true thickness is about 510 feet with neither.
