A.- A little over one mile west of
Huntsmville is [illegible] the

[illegible]
Fairmount. At a large
valley where a bunch of Hanging Oaks
oversees the forks.

Conglomerate strata,
Derranian limestone,
10ft direct & l with 'folds'
for a bed
56 ft dist exposed
10 ft argill. l, & 1/2 Platform

The Derranian limestone has
been present at all exposures
along the western boundary of
Fairmont from Wineland to
this point west of Huntsm-
villle.

W of Huntsville,
Der. limestone,
6ft directred &
Shale langes, see section 224

About half a mile beyond the
unity boundary where a road
turns off south) Black Shale is
exposed; A tiny distance of
flat land up to this point
(since C), limestone is under

stone,
At the RR cut directly S into
Wineland, the Der. shist writes
the residual drive ordered from
