my fossils will preserve on the way to sale. Foraminifera (Nodosaria up to 3/8 mil long) are common. What should be done here is to get out the plan. Scrite in blocks and covered with plastic and cloth, and then cleaned at home. When this is done I am sure from 50 to 100 species will be the result. It is said to be the finest Midway place for fossils, then are started out to the highway and crossed 2 miles farther S.E. to a road that goes N. Along this road one goes less than 2 miles to banks of a very thick Steeled and long tealed Ostraca. They make banks from a few feet maybe to ones 10 to 20 feet thick in the Dilamp formation. This is Q. Tacey Sandrea. In the morning had a long talk with one of my Joke students Clifton M. Keeler about some good Comanchian collecting in the Edwards near Cerro- point. On land of J.L. Keith, one mile east of Entepoint, Kerr Co., on old San Antonio Trail. The best collecting is in the banks of Verde Creek and Guadalupe River. Keith can take care of us for nights.
