Near the middle there are Goniatites and small Orthocerata, ferns? and Linnelibras. They are exposed along the creek for about 100ft. Then they run under the drift. A farmer tells me that a layer below any of these in this section was formerly quarried for flag stone. I saw where it outcrops on the hill side and it must be at least 100 ft below AI

Mr Louis Berier tells me that- at High Falls there is a section in which all the strata from the Medina Sandstone up to the light cement which is covered by the drift. They all lie con- formably upon eachother. 1055-7-1 is at the Southwest corner of the 5th Binnewater Lake and town of Rosendales Walter Co.

It is rich in trilobites. S- is the station where Mr L. Berier found one of the specimens of Homalonotus major which was described by R. P. Whitfield in the Bull. Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. for Another specimen of the same species was found the same day by Mr Berier at 1055-A-2. 1055-A-1 It is on the West Side of the anticlinal axis of Section 1055 A.

In morning went by canoe up into Wood Pond and thence into Attune Pond. Examined the shores of both lakes in search of the northern limit of the Oriskany. Spent June 3rd and the morning of June 4th in searching the shores. The ledges of which there are many are all of granite.

June-4-89. In morning continued searching the shores of Ottean Pond. All the ledges seen are granites. About noon returned to Jackmantown. In afternoon went with guide along the line of the C. P. R.

The rock is traversed in all directions by joints so as to make the determination of the dip impossible. 1062C³ On point 3/ mile below (South of) the East station near the smaller of the two islands 3 miles from the outlet. The determination of the dip is difficult. Numerous nearly parallel lines traverse the bed in a W 20° S direction. These lines are not continuous. Some fossils were found lying in another plane than that shown by the lines

1062 / c above mentioned. If the plane of the fossils determines the plane of diposition of the rock then its rocks dips 18° N 25° W If its dip is 90° The exposure is 145 ft thick in a S 25 E direction. If 18° is the dip then its thickness can be ascertained from the measurement of 145 ft. 1062 C 4 Point at cursing two islands 2 m from outlet- ting 1 m South of C3. dips 55° N 20 W as determined by fossils.
