Went east of Lexington to examine Chambersburg. Found no lithology referable to Chambersburg. It is all of Athens type. Discovered two infolded masses of Martinsburg that may be the reason for the great thickness of Athens at Lexington.
Went to Whistle Creek, NW of Lexington. Lincolnshire cherty ls is overlain by Murat light gray calcarenyte with few brachiopods. Whitesburg brown-weathering, hard knotty ls. with dark sandy shale partings and some chert, overlies the Murat and is followed by Athens.
