Kanab Canyon Arizona
Wednesday Oct 15th 1879

Up early and Jerry prepared to leave for Kanab to carry in a pack of fossils, letters and to bring mail in return. The morning was a dismal one. Cold. cloudy + windy.  A late fall day. Cleared up  a little and grew warmer towards night. I went five or six miles south and measured a portion of the sandstone of the upper dimension of the Carboniferous. Yesterday took the measurement of the upper portion by Locke level and barometer, each gave 775 feet. To day added 615 feet more. These measurements are much greater than those obtained by Mr. Gilbert so I took unusual pains to have them correct. Returned and prepared my supper & then, caught a few Branchifus,
