At bottom of hill before reaching 769 corner, Inner West Wm'm quarry is defined N' side of Juke. Here fossils are white & calcified to SE of Sinking Springy. Sh my dir't N. Continuing N from 769 corner, West Wm'm gives way to West Wm'm sand to top of hill = 825 at least. No room for higher strata here. Crooke creek bridge. Inner West Wm'm down to creek level. Small bend N of Crooked creek. E'y side. 14 ft of z'cald M ark - much fractured locally. 3 interval 30 feet partly exposed. Typha Lillie bed in Strobilogramma linden with Cyath. phyllum radwicz, strobi[illegible]a digginitata, small called 'farnites'. Stratigina, Willehm Lyellia cc. 1 ft solid laminated jelly beds which we either met locally. 2 1/2 weathering shaly. I rate few 5 2 1/2 ft interval. All inner West Wm'm. Crooked creek at bridge. Base part of West Wm'm not exposed here. A little farther north on west side of Juke is a quarry where we found cannarite calcite nodules. Left some Branchysperm large in the front end of pedicle were depressed gently along medium parts so at West Wm'm, cannulites lay, all in one layer. See section below:- 1 ft very travelliferous Carboniferous bed. 2 0 ft interval. 1/2 ft hard dolomitic foreign. 8 ft interval. Weathering like cc. 3 ft finish shale & indurated rock. 2 ft soft t. 1/2 ft weathering shaly, 1 1/2 ft solid limestone. 1/2 ft clay shale. 5' solid limestone. The crinoidal layers found at the top of the section SE of West Wm'm other appears to occur in the preceding section a short distance below the Cyathophyllum radwicz bed. I went Grave 3/4 mile SW to cemetery at road crossing. Ellent angry. Mudire contact at 885 ft. Not actually identified as mudire.
