Rutland, Vt., July 11, 1922. Tuesday. Left on the Rutland R.R. north to Brandon at 6:40; got there at 7:20. Had a fine breakfast at the Brandon Inn. Then started west (S. 78 W.) from Brandon by 1/2 mile of the Brilliston limestone and in the first gravel pit saw creatures sticking out. From Keith saw a coral and then several more, these turned out to be closely septate small cephalopods. Spent the morning looking for them and chiseling them out of the rock. Got a dozen or more and apparently also an Ophileta. Also saw the following Orthoceras Most of the cephalopods are small close septate forms just like the one Keith got in the Brenton conglomerate of the Corlin Ledge. The horizon of these forms is thought to be the equivalent of the Brilliston limestone a little northeast of Burlington, Vt. This formation near Brandon is a series of heavy bedded li and dol, with the li. squeezed out and firmly around the broken up but undamaged dol.
