"The Meocal" that Ransome was intended by disinte and smoothal metamorphosed. It is more a lim dolomite. A good deal of what I saw was clear Cryptogam. The leads older not laye but rather the whole area made up a swarg deposit. In the four specimens, Ransome did not see these Cryptogams but I am certain of these beds being algal deposits. Rans- some gives the thickness as about 300 ft. Over the Meocal Limestone is invariably a basalt (vesicular) flow that may attain 1200 ft thick. What I saw was around 25 ft thick. This looks like an unmis- takeable surface flow, and Lawson is certain then is an erosin surface above it. Then another deposition cycle starts in with the Troy quartzite having an average thickness of 400 feet. It begins with a little Al conglomerate like the
