5.3.8^3 includes a seam near the middle overlying a foot band of phylletic rock which is gray & pink thick=113[?] Fossils of 5.3.8^3 include Platyschisma albidum Bellerophon trilobatus ovens. carinatus acutus ovens. Murchisonia sp. common. 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- ia cingulata. Other fossils include 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 Bellerophon trilobatus com. carinatus acutus " Patellostomum (?) sp. ovens. Murchisonia sp. ovens. Platyschisma sp. albid. Grammysia cingulata versa. 5/26 Balor 5.3.8^c x4 is covered material about 80 feet broad (north & South) and then appears [12] feet of shelly gravel. These shells, unbroken and thin bedded= 5.3.8.

(cont'd p.55-) Monday, July 29, 1907. 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. PURPLE SHALE FOSSILS.
