Went to Pratts Ferry, collected from Whitesburg and up. Lenoir. In latter found large Sowerbyites. Spent most of day in a vain search for quarry in lower Lenoir. Late afternoon saw Athens on west side of Calera.

At Pratts Ferry 200' - 250' of limestone looking like Little Oak or Lenoir. It had Nidulites and Lophospira and must therefore be Ordovician. This rock was vertical. It may be the other limb of a tight syncline so little Athens exists here.

Visited large quarry in Little Oak about 2 1/2 miles NE of Pelham. Here Bimurias were abundant near bottom. Little Oak rests on Lenoir here.

Made fine collection at intersection 2 miles NE of Newhope Church. At this place the Little Oak fauna corresponds to the Lower Christiania fauna at Friendsville and the Christiania beds at Pratts Ferry.

Drove to Rome, Georgia
