"Dark-blue shale crl| with interbedded fossil beds, and some- times sandy lenses (the latter always very thin, 1/6 to 1/8 inch). About 15 feet thick. Near only one for Linfulella. A little lower saw 2 specimens for Linnaromia? Keith during the morning discovered to the north a new locality for what looked like a morning place for Highgate fossils. The sample, hemself there, had large trilobite fragments and a large orthid. Are therefore concluded to go out this afternoon to see the place. The place is marked (5) on map. It is about 2 miles south of the Canadian bridge and about 4 1/2 miles north of Highgate Centre. I soon became suspicious, because the rock appeared to be Senecio slate. Thac it has several beds of an aircations limestone. These beds range from 4-8 inches thick, and there are at least several of them. Are credited as those fearfully hard rocks for two hours and got mains Orthus tricensarin, Dalmanella testudinaria, Calgan. mure Tard, and many fragments of large Illaenoid trilobite, the tails of which suggest Illaenus milleri and Theliprus. As far as seen in the horizon is either Blood River or easy Tantum.
