  Went to Bobs Landing.  Collecting in brachiopod bed can be had from a glade just west of northern-most part of Tennessee River bluff 1/2 miles N of Bobs Landing.  Found better collecting about 0.2 mile NNW (of woods [[erased]]( [[/erased]] Bobs Landing on map) of Bobs Landing and about 200 yards east of northernmost house between a small creek (dry) and a fence line.  An old road crosses the glade.  Brachiopod were abundant and good.

   An old man took me to a glade in Beech River, about 1 mile NNW of Bobs Landing.  Bluish limestone and calcareous shale probably 30' in all containing [[underlined]] Astraeospongia [[/underline]], occasional [[underline]] Troostocrinus [[/underlined]] and [[underlined]] Caryocrinites [[/underlined]].  Brachiopods were rare and in general poor.  1 picture, no 1 on 3rd film pack.
