August 24, continued. 5 to 70 degrees Pazatec lies about one mile to the north of Lake Mataedia and is a flat land not much elevated above the lake. It is all undulating by the Diluvian ls lying at low angles, mostly averaging five degrees. He then crossed south of the Catholic church of Ja- goteed about 3 miles and collected in the Diluvian l's quarries here for the Catholic churches. About ten feet is exposed, a dark blue, sandy, friable and banded ls, this may lie very near the white quartzite. He got about all the sections seen in the walls of the Causapsical church. The church at Angqui is partly of the quartzite and the other of Val Brilliante and Pazatec all of the Diluvian l's. If we are ever able to learn what relation the Dil. bears structurally to the Ortho Camen Onts, maybe they join underneath the Devonian? Nor have we learned the thickness of the Dil. other than that the quartzite is said to be 60' thick. In the quarry are seen or trace a Heldutepian fauna: thus Bailey reported Shifter-denta varistriata, O. tecki ? and Peristella. We have not yet seen the quarries in the ls situated by the Intercolonial R.R., unless they be the ones seen to day (Bailey says 6 miles N of Val Brilliante which would at once make it other one or here today).
