23 miles N.E. of Fort Smith to see and collect from the Upper Washita. We began in the Winger beds of the Triasut. The main forms are the K. oracensis, and fit almost anything else. Then the Del Rio clay = [illegible] again able refinite brachiosphaera consermata. These form gradually into the Buddha lime shale, with thin irregular limestone also refinite with the same sphaera. This locality is to the E. of the main road to Denton (about 10 miles South) at about 1/2 mile, and pretty far than 5 miles to the N.E. of Roanoke. Then drove back to Roanoke and then directly E. at about 1 1/2 or 2 miles to see the whole of the Buddha Peth, how is a thick li. (stut) Antp, perhaps be bracketine. made up of aggregated/smear) forms, a sort of beach detritus. Beneath are the long Buddha shale, with zones of li. Also a lot of pints here, Nautilus, some ammonite and fireslers, echinits (very fine) and a lot of S. consermata in the finest preservation. All is to be shipped to me by C. J. Alexander, besides what collected today. Then back to Denton home to have dinner and spend the evening. The T. C. H. President was very present. 8:30 to Ballers Hotel at 10 P.M. Debt from me in his car to the hotel.
