practically the same in both flags, and both except that Wilsonia found in the shale appears to be absent from the flag, and Leptostrophia common in the flystone flag, appares to be rare in the shale. Wilsonia common Leptostrophia (of nervosa) ? Rhipidomella occasional Dalmanella Chonetes common Stenoschisma orea Monotypa (small) " Springopora "rare" Crinoid columns occasional The STRIKE of these beds is N 25° W. DIP 92°, N 85° E. 5.33. I. E. - three feet thin, nearly papery olive gray shales . Fossils very scarce: Leptostrophia (of nervosa type) orea. Dalmanella rare Lingula yp. ores. Shellmells of Parapetas rare. 5.33.I. F - 2 feet dark grayish blue flystone dust flags . Fossils abundant in a seam in the middle. Strophonella(?) yp. almid. Leptaria rhomboidalis " Atrypa reticularis " Wilsonia (large) Orthis rare Crinoidal remains orea. Zaphrentid coral rare The strike is N 40° W, DIP 48°, NSD B. A kind specimen of the rock is 1155. 5.33.I. G. 4½ feet thin papery gray shales weathering olive in color on exposed faces. Rarely laminar. Orthis columns or worm rare Chonetes(?) " 5.33. I H - 5 feet of trappe generally argillaceous, fine grained (of mudstone) gray-gray-olive in color with a 5 inch thick blue glasse flag of flystone dust in the middle and a lamed such and blue 3 inch flag in upper quarter. Nearly laminar. Fossils same as I.B. (not collected). Strike N 40° W, dip 46°, N 30° E. 5.33.I. K - 9 feet thin blue paper and grey splintery slates with 10 inches of glasse flag of flystone dust at lower quarter. Through the upper part are scattered little lines of glasse flystone dust some of them 2feet long and 3 inches thick in the middle but generally smaller. Fossils in the shale are occasional (scattered through every the 9 ft.). Orbiculodea (almost bostriate form). common Orthis rare. Chonetes (coarse). Camarotoechia " Lingula " Dalmanites rare Cinoid joints common 5.33.I.L - 23 feet of columnar jointed glasy flystone clasts, in places faintly laminar, frequently massive. Color varies from gray to blue. Specimens 1156-1157. No fossils; but in middle is a seam with trawl-like or furrowed markings of Bothotrophis. Shale follows a thick mass of gabbro which continues to the beds. The contact with 5.33.I.L is approximately the same as the line of strike.
