North of 51, is typical Eden with Plat. and [illegible] common. Dalmarella common out in a few layers, rare elsewh. Stephomena Halli rather rare, Prasopna sinata abundant. Eden section about 50 ft. Fault between Eden + Mayville perhapsly E+W, in dir. generally S.W. 151 52. Eden with 2 specimens of Primu- clens, also Plct. crummites ?
