Then continued to Royl Creek to see the Royl Creek Shales only interbedded sandstone. Those we found are sort of the I.P. R.R. not far to the S. of Haymond and to the west of the Orva- culite series. And of the shales are olive green shales with an occasional black grit 1/ 2 or from one foot thick. Those are more hard and harder than is to be expected for the region. The sand- stone are also greenish and weather the yellow and are in some from 2 to 10 feet thick. They have bits of plants some wavy impressions and others that look like charcoal. Both the shales and sandstones are very fine micaceous, I saw no recognizable foris on large fragments of plants. Then continued past Haymond Station and N.W. to the State Road where large hill side section cuts across the simple range of hills. Here the fossil material is dark chert in beds from an inch up to a foot thick or more separating the dominant shale partings. Apparently in the lignitaceous here shales become once lying but saw no foris. There also saw at least five feet of a clay that separated a deformed ark. These are in some from 3 to 6 feet thick, Leland's tow
