125. Exposed from near top of hill (within 20 feet) and here are found [illegible] limestone in the Platts Formation. Near at 125 are some richly forested forests dangers. 126. Highest land carries loose red sandstone along road, with full sections of Marysville limestones as far as locality 28 and thence eastward as far as the east terrace. 127 From Standford to 127 frequently formations of argillaceous rock resembling Richmond. At 127, a small outlying Chinta, on a few yards across, beyond which bottomland is Richmond again. It lay a mile W of Med Creek church. The Black slate comes in and embraces J M as the church. Mr Formby is planted by the Chinta m, only lithologic re- sentlance. 128. At this locality there is some surety the rock whose lithology closely resembles the Chinta. Richmond beds exposed near eastward, but no formations of Marysville seen east- ward for quite a considerable dis- tance. 129. At this locality there is abundant Richmond rock along the railroad and thence eastward along the road up the hill, along the creek, part of 129, leaving Marysville rock with Old Pt. Fmndi, are exposed, dipping slightly down creek southward, and last strongly eastward. One proba- bly is but a local dip, but it will cause the strata to rise rapidly southward. Between these two beds the Antrim should show up but is not seen. On another dip evidently will carry the Marysville bed or creek level with 200 ft N of the bridge. From locality 129, go south one mile and take road east to May wood, along this road the rocks - Richmond, dip strongly west. During from May wood south a mile like that I said before, lithologically like Chinta shows up at angle in road 1/5 mile south of May wood, midmost Richmond and Welles it. Several parallel rock depressions occur in the Richmond and half a mile south of Maywood,
