field road is Ritchie Park, privately owned by Mr. Robert Ritchie, 
Saratoga, New York. This entire area is all underlain by “ Cryp- 
tozoon reefs,” formed by three different species of this calcareous 
alga. The display is said to be finer than the ledge in Lester Park. 
About six acres have been cleared so as to display the fossil re- 
mains. “The finest thing of the kind in the world,’ 
Open to the public; admission 35 cents. Guides. A natural 
ledge, 500 feet long, is being developed as a rock garden. “ Our 
future project includes conservation of the natural beauty of the 
park, testing plant material for hardiness, and a ‘bird haven.’ ”
