of the flat pettles kind, I have now come about one-quarter mile further anticlinal away. I have gone south another one-quarter-mile and the same sandy limestone with granular and flat pettles intraformational conglomerates continue. It is a higher series than the proiliforms ever seen first near Marathon. One mile further south I see the same white [illegible] shale shale looked at Saturday. The white shales or Ordovician Armaculites, I should be rising in the strata to it. In places current last then are some syncline folding to the west. Apparently the dips are not uniform, but are somewhat rolling. As we goes south I think one rises in the sec- tion, and passes fine shales with thin beds of lithographic limestone and once and once sandy materials with shales. Throughout the intraformational congl. are present.
