August 7 entered
that at the top the strata near vertical dipped seaward and
inwards Malta, and that on the inner side of the Pie they dipped in the opposite direction. He brought back some crystalline ls that also had Ferustella, and these to me looked like Devonian jems = Crickley.
Herd Middletons lumb at "The Haven".
[19ab25] After lunch Cribben and I walked back to the Pie and he climbed to the top while I got up my half way. Here he saw about 50-75 feet of near vertical Crickley dipping into the earth, but on the land side were more in place. The upper part of the inner land side of the Pie is covered with the Bonaventure dipping at about 465° to the south. It is composed of blocks of the Crickly in all sizes up to ten feet across, a jiggedy-jiggedy mass accreted by lime. It is the material of an Crickley cliff dropped down a steep talus slope with the bedding of the slope of the hill down which the talus rolled. It is very nice that one gets an Cricklay print in this Bonaventure but I got some Leptrevelia flatellite, Chmites emplanata (small) and saw much of Ferustella and some Polygona, and no Odoranites tail. Grogal the top out of the Cricklay in place Cribben got Diaphorostoma, Odoranites tail and mrides, Leptrevelia flatellite, and other thmp.
The strike of the Cricklay at the outer tops out of the Pie is N. 70° W, with the dip 65° E into Malta.
