Priere du Loup, July 15-1913. Spend an hour looking at the thick series of shales probably are of liller and Lerois time. The faster mass is true referred to the liller and here consists of the rich red shales in thin groups alternating with green shales. Then too there are thin beds of an inch or 2s several inches of sandstone, nearly an arenaceous limestone with marine fossils (Burling got an Osterhita as a small Lingulella more of which he could determine with halerto species), and in the railway cut we saw several thin grns (3 to 6 inches) of limestone conglomerate. Here the pebbles are small nearly exceeding a half inch. These conglomerates seem in lenses and are often offset by small faults. No 4 is a quartzite, somewhat chloritic and crass in character. No 3 is a Hack shale and at about the center has Caryocaris. There one. No 2 - is a thick series of red and green shales that in the upper third is strongly interbedded with thin beds (2 to 4 inches) of sandstone.
