Morning spent at Marion Cut. 
Search for [[underlined]] Dinorthis atavoides [[/underlined]] in beds just under Shippensburg in vain. Concluded all beds down to Lowville are Shippensburg. Searched cherty beds for Strasburg fossils. Found no unique local ones. Did find Cam. longirostris type suggesting chazy. Mosheim at base continued T. syringoporoides. We think it possible that the Maclurites bed are local to this section. Possibly they are lower Strasburg and the Lowville beds between the Shippensburg and Maclurite beds are a facies of upper Strasburg.

In afternoon went to cut [[strikethrough]] just [[/strikethrough]] west of Hagerstown, 7 miles. Here the beds just under Shippenburg contain T. cellulosum, small Strophmera and Leperditias just like the same beds at Marion. Below this Lowville are about 400' of limestone with [[strikethrough]] [[?]] [[/strikethrough]] snail-bearing Mosheim at base and peculiar buff gray smooth fracturing ls. in middle. No rock related to Strasburg was seen in this section.

Went to Pinesbury to see section along RR. Went into large quarry on S side of RR and here found enormous sequence of Mosheim forming edge of quarry along river
