September 1st

Worked through the forenoon on the beddings where the trilobites were found yesterday in the ravine at the head of the pond as shown in diagram on opposite page.

Exhausted the locality by noon but secured quite a number of good trilobites and brachiopods.

Some of them fine specimens.
