16. The large Gethio lymns is found just beneath. The Seijers' Fink bed is crinoidal, crasse, reddish rocks, etc. This bed was found yesterday at W.M. Foreland's place. 20 At the Spring S south of Fernvale The Black Shale is 7½ feet thick. The Spring comes out at base of Black Shale. A short distance southward the Sauran Silurian (Seijers' creek I think), slumps up below the Black Shale. Effervesces of black shale die appear 2m S think going up stream, southward. Plenty of rock between Fernvale * Springs & Spring in m road to Tank. Best take this road from Bellevue. 23 At south end of Hillsford, up the hill west of school house at Spring Black Shale m lower Silurian same section as at spring of Mr. William Perrett marked to Fernvale Springs. 1 mile section also about 2 miles south, up stream 1 mile, sorry not from school house but a broken down bridge. 17 27 Along the Franklin Carter's Creek just 7½ miles out. Then west up the B rd an road 2½ miles. (2½ miles also from B rd m) Barle Potts lives here on S end of Craig Bensley. A short dist once west of lemma a fine spring is found 1m north side of the road. Near top of hill above the spring Black Shale goes up in the large Silu- m! (in Seijers' Fink bed??) Fossils found up to top. There are Lypt nodules. The entire thickness of black shale is certain less than 10 feet. Want at m. At the Sulphur Spring. 1 mile W, 1 B rd m, the Black Shale goes directly on Sauran Silurian line at me, with fossils. This is not the Seijers' Creek bed. Up stream from Tom Fox, Seijers' Creek. Clint m is dirty up to very top. Near top is the Halcyites horizon. Halcytes very abundant after several specimens of the peculiar cup shaped fossil which I once considered a crinoid base, and which I found both at South Funnel and at White's Bend near Oakland City in the Clint m. over.
