July 3 - roamed the hills at junction of road and Gilliland Canyons. Fossils scattered. Collecting poor. Went over to Clay Slide. Saw few fossils. Rained out at 1 P. M.

July 4 - Looked over Wolfcamp surrounding sill about 3 miles north of Hess gate on road to Split Tank. Found few fossils. Collected Leonard from faulted block 1 1/2 miles east of Hess gate and about 0.1 mile south of road. Got good [[underlined]] Striatifera [[/underlined]] here. At noon went to town barbecue and rodeo.

July 5 - collected Wolfcamp and Hess north of Decie Ranch in first spur of hills south of Cathedral Mtn. [[underlined]] Scacchinella [[/underlined]] common but sporadic in occurences. Lives with beak down and growing to one another like Reihthofenids Made good collection from both Wolfcamp and Hess. The [[underlined]] Scacchinella [[/underlined]] were taken in about middle of low hill and about 20' - 30' below the top in fine - grained massive limestone. The Wolfcamp bed was somewhat above the middle of the slope.

July 6 - Worked over Leonard and Word north of Decie Ranch. Found the collecting poor. Fossils very scattered. Went to Lenox to see Wolfcamp which is mostly a conglomerate. Went back and collected more [[underlined]] Scacchinella [[/underlined]] north of Decie Ranch.

July 7 - Back to Split Tank for the day. Rained in afternoon but we stuck it out. Norman found 4 blocks with [[underlined]] Uncinella [[/underlined]] and they occur just above the base of the Leonard, between the Hess and the beds containing [[underlined]] Uncinuloides. [[/underlined]]
