August 25 - continued
with an arch that farther south must be faulted with
the Devonian farther south.
The Silurian then lies unconformably on the
various members of the Ordovician. It begins with the
white and fine quartzites that are frondiforous toward
the top, and about 60 feet thick.
Then follows the ls that are terminated by the
grapholite sandstone sk. How thick the Silurian
above the quartzites in one could not determine but may
exceed 100 feet.
Then follows the ls caye, apparently introducing the
Devonian, but as yet we do not know if the Heldeu-
terian is present, but I rather think we may find it
somewhere on Aug 26 - other the conclusion was found in me).
I rather expect the Silurian to pinch out toward
the south. It is not known at our Oratophelia and how
far over the Por Daniel - Black Cape series are in
my column. There is perhaps a land barrier between them.
The Helderian if present goes across the entire person.
Give since it is once developed to the early Orato-
pedia.
{all @ Devonian and / my Barless}
The Lower Devonian is the dominant formation of
the Oratophelia really, but how much of the Barke SS is pre-
sent was yet unknown.
I had a very successful day.
