Colgate so, the blue shale with Sp. venustus. Above this are 52 feet of

Bad rain in afternoon. 
May 24 - Bad rainy day. Went to see Quarry in Woodhouse member of 
Onondaga. Went to Jones Quarry 1 mile east of Tully, then to New 
Woods Rock for Coral bed. Here creek has been dammed & bed 
covered. 
May 25 - Muller Creek for Tully all morning. West Brook S of Sherburne 
in afternoon. Then 1 1/2 miles S of Columbus for eastern Tully. Paul 
Sartenaer found excellent Hypothyridina in calcareous lenses. 
Beds for nearly 100' above The West Brook fossil bed are thin sandy 
shales suggestive of Geneseo at West Brook rather than Sherburne as 
we called Them. 
May 26 - Spent morning at Stony Creek seeing New Lisbon & Laurens. 
Afternoon at Houghtalines Glen and Glen one mile NE of Laurens.
