Little shale quarries for sand and metal beside the road at locality (1) on topographic sheet. Trilo- itite paper coats common. Small [illegible]-like part. small orthoid, and many opaloid plates, Nummulis etc. See the lot of iron material but something may be made out of it. A little farther north at (2) there is a lentic of lime- stone to five feet thick, and some hundreds of [illegible] coarsely composed of com- minuted fangs.
