" Nov. 25, Sunday.
Collected in the afternoon
at a locality about midway between
Cocoa and Melvin or about one
mile west of the former place. The
horizon is about 15 to 20 feet higher
than the echinoderm bed of the
Jackson formation. This fauna
is common to a zone about three
feet thick through the oyster is
found higher and lower through
about twenty feet strata. These strata
are readily separated from the Jan-
Jorden bed in being much stained
by iron and in places abound in
rock which crumbles under the
action of the weather. The most
common shell is the oyster.
