Dec. 30-1927.
I am walking about the Capitol
Building, and am struck with the
reef nature of the limestone. In places
it looks like the coral gravel, and
shoing hairs aligned growths like hypha-
groths, also current action at the rim
and torn I guess. Dr. [illegible] has in
much algal or stimulated flora growth
are a white felties interlaced in the
left leg of the general limestone, also
must Bryozoa material. Look of
this lie in Japan's Sea of Japan.
It is all a fine illustration of reef
limestone.
Later on I see that nearly all is
Bryozoa material. Reef-li. of
Bryozoa and algal growths. The
cyptogron-like growths must be of
algal nature at an intricate structure.
