August 25 continued 100 p.m. All of the pettles appear to be of the Diluvian and many have Diluvian forms of the species are collected in the quarries today. There are also other Dil. Species like Con-chidium Knighti, Favosites, Stomatopora, and cup ends and some back spores occur free but form as pettles in the cups. The foot of the Cnyl, is full of comminuted fossils some fire to impressions to be of the same species as in the Dil. pettles. Above a sandy soil is interbedded and other Favosites and small back spores. At another place there is a shale Receia is reflected with some Diluvian fossils. The pettles, [illegible] aunts to Cnyl. upto 6 metres deep all of which have the conus rounded. This ls Cnyl gives me the impression that it lies on top of the Diluvian series and makes the base of the Permian sequence (in Aug. 26 - was found to be an error). At the base of the Notre Dame Cut and other the Dilurian Harland deposits appear are from a little exposure in the road cutting and have Jpor [illegible]. Other 20 feet Cawn Crick may also for the caprolites and a small Dalmanella Nuculifera and a peculiar Lep. rhomboidal. These beds are clearest beneath the Ls Cnyl. These strata dip at about 12°. Still nearer the Cut in a road cutting and in the fields are found these same strata dipping at NW 45° W. For several days Amorgaptes while Conus and Crick may get a small lot of back spores. Near there we found the strata rising
