14. 39 A. E of William McBurdor's house, at End of glen or valley, entering boun- dary creek. 2\/2 mi. from Carson Springs Sta. Clinton. ->9 ft below Clinton is highest Spange. 18ft sandy decayed Madison. Mst Spanges are found now at the top of the fossiliferous expo- sure. If the base of the banded Madison is 15 feet below the Clinton, thetopofthebandedMadisionis probably still beneath the spange layer. The thickness of the richly fossilif- ous Richmond section was not measured. It equals about 5 feet as near as I can remember. One stray Columnaria was found, pre- sumably C. abecata but no record was made. Further along the track Columnaria halli occurs 17 feet below top of richly fossil.
