Tully Onondaga Co., N.Y., -
Wednesday, September 19, 1888 -
Gather fossils, today, from the ledge west of Tioughnioga. 1204 A, Lot 26, Tully. 
I take the height of that ledge, above the road bed - about 96 feet.  I find, at the top of Section A, a Calciferous sandy Shale, 16 inches thick.  Some parts of this are very full of Fossils. 
The top of this ledge is about 500 feet above Onondaga Creek, below the moraine; and a level east southeast, across Tioughnioga Valley, shows exactly the same height as the exposure at Onsby's.
