High gate Center, Sep. 25 - 1922. Monday. fairly windy A cold bright morning and at 8.30 A.M. we are off for Burlington. We are taking with us all of the fossils and molds collected. First photo (2) of the limestone about 4 miles N. of Shells Corners. The author of the great mess at Prindle. We then waited in Leith to talk over the 65 foot long boulder observed yesterday. Keith thought it might be a lesser form in the cape, but after noting all the crape and speculation about the man he concluded it must be a boulder of one of the Chelsea cliffs. To me there is no doubt about its being a boulder, and it might even much longer than 65 feet, because to the north it appears that the line men continues something like 20 feet further. Then went on to Burlington where we had lunch. At 2.30 we collected in the Brillion Limestone at locality (12) on the Winestory Road beside a very small school house about 6 miles N.-E. of Burlington. Duntan found a huge dolomite horizon with small bryozoans and at least one species of trilobite. They all look to me like Ordovician, and the brachydia like those of the Quebec embay. See the lots of forms,
