miles from camp. Road is about N-S. Axial Axial, Colorado is at base of Mesa Verde formation. There is a coal mine just below our camp on west side of gulch. At Axial P.O. Axial, Colorado dip 27¡ SW. The oak scrub Quercus covers north facing slopes, opposite slopes barren. No large trees about here. Then we went upstream above camp. Oreohelix cooperi Oreohelix cooperi (large form) abundant on slopes covered by oak scrub Quercus and mt. mahogany Cercocarpus. No Amelanchier Amelanchier (but found Amelanchier higher on slope). Only dead shells seen. Did not look for live ones. Three miles S of Axial Axial, Colorado found on E side of gulch a two foot ledge of black limestone composed almost entirely of Ostrea glabra Ostrea glabra and Anomia micronema Anomia micronema. Opposite, on west side of gulch, found same stratum, half way up the hillside. Did not find Tulotoma thompsoni Tulotoma thompsoni which Stanton said occur here, but the bluff where they likely occur has been badly washed by recent storms. Returned to camp at 2 p.m.
