Jupiter River, Monday June 20
Immerain.
Stormy wind and a heavy fog on and I
am held up for the present.
Left the Light and Mr. Lemieux at
10.45 and at 11.30 I was ashore on the east
side of Jupiter river valley collecting a few
snaphills and Pilceps in zone E 3.
While I was collecting Priorer walked
to the river mouth to see how to get in
and by 12.30 we lifted anchor and are away
for the river.
In the afternoon collected at the high
Jupiter River cliffs just over the river. The
cliffs are near 150 feet high, the upper 70-80
feet being of the waterlume like limestone-shale
holding a very sparse fauna and Onmograph-
tus. The lower part of cliff is a soft shale
contort mitricella fossils, zone E2, the upper
being zone E3.
Took 3 pictures of the cliffs on a clear day.
Built 1/6.
