Beetles 8,20am (35) [illegible] 4,25 pm ? 10,05 am stop anywhere east 8.30 PM stop anywhere east Beetles, Linn road until led in gravelly 1/2 mile W of turn. Blacyleptus Crematogaster Dalmanites typical Billings from Dalmarea Elle Whitefeldella Rhyphocheta connecta Spinipalmarium, short bridge Sclerostella case Hillerton Brachyferm very fine thin depressed materially Camponotus neglecta Diaphoristana infugmens Platycerus anagyrus Hornhambros head. Neburella. At the top of the gravelly the centralised ridge cuts across the flat central ledge aspendage seen in upper beds at West Vm III Beetles SW 1/4 mi, then 13mi E, then S 3/4 mi, then E from 843, 1/2 mile, Green Clay from Clentangy shale first seen at 890, with black shale further up the hill. No stratum more km. From corner 843 a little over a mile & then spinulae smithi. Black shale time at 8181/2, from Gutter lines, 7ft thick when 3 ft hard white b. Black shale 5ft thinbedded li apparently with Lepidodina 6 ft. limestone layers like that below <800 10 ft interval. li in layers as far as seen coal abundant. The contact between Marse and Kent White not determined with exactness. 1/2 mile NE of whether last road turned off still, where house is on N side of road, at sharp angle in road. Clentangy well expressed. 825 exact 2ft Thiel with Lepidodinae. 141 very hard white b. or fossils. Course to nearly massive Carboniferous. Feel off in layers. On closer examination this hard layer is seen to be made up of thin layers even as far as the carbonaceous are concerned, which may be due to concretions my growth on altering the thin layers bridge.
