Sept. 14th
Mr. Johnson took me 4 miles to
Johnson's Brook on his farm at
Boisdale.  A locality not refered to
by Mathew.  Examined the shales
along this brook from the highway
where a sawmill is being built.
After going over about 1000 ft.
of Shales, about half way to
the syenite on the mountain
we found a thick band of coal
black shales carrying numerous
small trilobites apparently
Sphaerophthalmus of the Peltura
Fauna.  Worked this horizon
until 2 P.M. securing a fine 
representation of the fossils.
     Spent the rest of the day
searching the shales exposed
up the stream to the syenites
on the mountain.  This whole
stream shows a great exposure
of Cambrian Shales.
