the Paleogric strata and the mins, all of

Carboniferous lareas. At deeper in we enter Queens
Buloh and here the first strata are the
quart zites of the Lepache series. This is the
Trog quartzite about 200 feet. It is a clean
white rusty stained fine preserved quartzite
in thick beds. Its disconformably overlain
by the Devonian limestone. The first portion

bed towards the top the lie are poorer and
granular reflect with crinoid elements.
Saw nothing of special interest.
Then came a most interesting ride through
the mountains to Miami. We soon pass
through the Carboniferous strata and then it is up
