Then follows about 1000 feet of double gun shales, with some red shale and then yards of sandstone. There is more sandstone in the bottom of the section than upwards. Very near the base of the shale series of the Horton we got only Ostracoda, but Helliwell got a Nucula and Hastings had Estheria and one specimen that maybe Leacia although it does not have the sharp carina against which the growth lines abut. First ocels and stone cases occur here. Higher up we came upon more Ostracoda. Some of these forms are too large and ornate to be other than marine forms. Towards the top of the section lycopsids become more numerous and in one bed we saw many (perhaps more than 12) small trunks standing vertically. These are usually 8 to 10 inches in diameter, have been freshwater are somewhat of chicken-sided, and other devoid of all lycopsid ornamentation are probably of Lepi- dodendron. In one place we saw a stem a foot long that may once have been a Stigmaria
