Fossils of 5.3.8^3 include
Platyschisma albidum

Grammysia of cingulata versal.
v. 5.3.8^c' includes a band of sandy shale
a foot underneath 5.3.8p^3 and the
middle of 5.3.8^c. The faunule is almost
cured by the predominance of Grammys-

Platyschisma sp.
Bellerophon trilobatus & carinatus
murchisonus
Spiorbis.
v. 5.3.8^c' includes a couple of calcareous
sternum in the lower half of 5.3.8^c.
These stems rendered celebrated by
abundance of fossils, mostly gastro-
poda

Marine Clay fossils. Perry Inlet in
3.22.5, north side of Little River.
The fossil falls over in a stiff blue
clay. The commonest form still are
a Maconea-like Helminis which does
not live on the neighboring beaches today.
Other common forms are Cyprina islandica
Panopea sp
Crenella sp
Mytilus edulis
Mya (small, suberchous)
?Macra.
single fragment of Cardium (? Arca)
single smashed Nucula & N.permula not
collected.
Balanus, joints.
No gastropods excepting a tide
lored through a Maconea and red
scutata a Vatica.
See commonest of shells the sand
flat of the inlet of Little River is a Pter-
aper. ? Macra. A few shells col-
ceted in 5m10 minutes yielded two
small Mya, Mytilus, Altromed and
a rare Ostella & Buccinum.
