Sept. 6th

Worked on outcrop No 1 in McLean Valley as shown in the diagram on the opposite page. A few specimens were found here Aug. 16th. Today quarried extensively into the cliff and got access to the hard band carrying the fossils and was fortunate enough to obtain a fine lot of over 200 beautifully preserved brachiopods belonging to the Glenns Fauna of Mathew.

Just at night found outcrop No. 3 some distance up the valley.  Evidence here of fine fossils. Same broad Lingulellas as in No. 2. Shall work this outcrop tomorrow.
