10 Evidently I am something out to the north. Farther west was a small thickness of sandy dolomite, followed down grade by a zone (?) of white quartzite, and still lower a gneis (?) (furn or) of dolomite conglomerate. This is undoubtedly the Oniltn. The whole is less than 35 feet thick. Still farther west and at once beneath the Oniltn came in the Cretaceous sandy and lign slates. Saw few fragments of trilobites but none were determinable. One fragment may have been desmes of Allmylles. The first place visited this afternoon was about 1/3 mile N.W. in Onantm, - Shipgate. Here we saw what appear the lower 30 feet of Oniltn. Outcrop was the clt. conglomerate with blocks of rolite, and beneath with in great thickness of smelly white limestone. An litter side there was no shale to be seen in the farm lands. The morning was very productive, but the afternoon was negative as far as fossils are concerned.
