close anticline, near the top of the hill on the
eastern limb occur sandy shales and here are six
Tetragnostus quadrinuchistatus, Didymograpta
ferculus, Dictyomena and small Phyllograpta.
It is the same but farther somewhat lower down
on the eastern side of the anticline from which I
got my collection of some years ago - in the cut

Tetragnostus fauna.
The conglomerates in the Loris are true
conglomerates and not intraformational. One bed
of 16 inches thickness was an area across limestone
and the sandstone and the limestone pebbles of
everal varieties occur. In other places the
conglomerates are all limestone without sand and
