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.

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.
