12) at greatest point of elevation
4 mile West of bridge & W the
South cut near Dalanmilla
[illegible]
& comb site, and is little
near force of Utica on top of
Cathays. Did not have time
to examine. Examine post.
13) West of point 1 mile east of
Alt m station I collected Hygr
grams,
Cathays
14) just east of Alton station I
secured hyg grams. Plectan-mus?
to from sum here and the
side looks more like Utica but
no Dalanmilla seen, maybe at
least a case, Inra Utica.
15) A fine cut West of station not
visited.

South east of Hornsblough about 1/2
miles is the beginning of a long
R.R cut made for the new line to
Frankford. Just before reaching it
there is exposed a very fine grained
limestone with vertical when
brings, resembling the Birdseye.
This is first all the Wythe Birdseye
of Linnery. Above this, from the
great part of the cut, is limest in
which I consider the Cathays.
I did not examine it carefully,
Near the top I collected what may
be a young Orthonyx or Aula.
It resembled a Phyllotrema
but the beak of the vertical valve
was very worn and the fr gomen was
well exposed. Above the Cathays,
furning the top of the cut was
the Utica, estimated at 10 feet
ticks. It consisted of thin
clay shale interbedded with
day. It contained Dalanmilla
andite like small on a cecata
than num to secta, and Trine-
claves. Also intra casts. The
hyg grams look like Utica form.
The rock is tilted south east or
2 north. The Cathays may be 40
feet thick. Apparently less a
short distance East of the cut
limited me, rather colors, & size,
I used. Do this Utica? Similar
trouble in identification because
West of Lawrenceburg.
