"Here is considerable lithological variation of the Llando lleri within the bounds of the quadrangle, whereby con- glomerates and quartzite not always distinguishable from those in the type section appear at unexpected places in the stratigraphical column (3). The following is the Barnes Peak sequence, Dcarlan cmpl. 1-6 ft. Rests on granite. Cmfl. practically the remoulded granite, Arkose, sometimes not present. Pioneer Hole 200': The Dcarlan passes into 30' foot of coarse gravelly sand. Zones of quartzite throughout. Locally the Barnes cmpl. 10-15 Dripping Spring Quartzite 400' This quartzite near Tany much mud cracked. Towards the N.E. of the Quadrangle the Pioneer Hole is a quartzite, Pityful proximity to mine. I presume there's then only have been hollows on the Pre- Carnvian floor as deep as 200 feet. Into these hollows are formed quartzite. Elsewhere those 200 feet are the Pioneer Hole. It looks less like hollows than one might arkose deposit (12). Pioneer Hole and the fine quartzite that replaces it is much sun cracked. Certainly I saw the same cracks in the shale and rain pitted. Barnes cmpl. lying in strange rocks, those of the Pitterygrove. Found no track, but of the sudden influx. Apparently there are not living in the stuff far from the north.
