in Upper Quarter Just in front of the Arsenal building they are digging a darkish dense limestone for road metal. In looking over this material saw a few spictrilit only from remaining ore of the Normanskill type. There is here some limestone than shale. In the after noon walked about 3 miles of the St. Lawrence Park Dolphs Cove. At the Citadel there is much limestone with calcareous shale limestone as one goes up the river the regular limestone succeeds and gets out, more and more calcareous shales come in and within 1000 fut of the brick toll gate house found spictrilit like this <commencement> Shale. Dart Second. One of these clinocrepfta? Beyond the toll house soon black or fissile shale comes. This for a half mile, gradually come in beds that breaks red at finally in another half mile all in and shale that smashes down into thin plates readily by talus slopes. The same futs also across the river. No fossils otherwise.
