Spent morning at Eidson where we established Oligorhynchia in the sequence. Above the top of the Elway below apple tree dark ls. contain Sowerbyites. These ls are followed by cobbly beds with D. atavoides and the large fauna collected in previous years. D. Atavoides is followed by dark ls. with D. willardi. These limestones are cherty. Above these come fine grained gray ls to gray calcarenites containing Oligorhynchia, Oxiplecia. The Oligorhynchia beds are succeeded by pink or cream coarse grained marble assigned to the Ward Cove. Above this marble comes the Benbolt, 100' or more of cobbly shaly beds. The Wardell succeeds the Benbolt. The Witten is blue gray platy ls abounding in zygospira. The Moccasin forms the top of the sequence.

In afternoon went down to Lee Valley to see beds collected by Ulrich. These proved to be Benbolt - Wardell interval. From Ulrichs description of the locality at the forks of road the fossils may be Wardell. The Camerellas suggest this also. We collected Benbolt N of highway about 0.1 - 0.2 mile about one mile NE of Lee Valley and Wardell on the highway the same distance from the Valley. The Wardell contained Campylorthis inseqinstriata,
