Here as at the joggins in the Coal Hole associated with the crals or beds approaching crals we get a abundance of Maidacite and Lepidoditra. It seems the Hecton and smoother the shale the more abundant the livalres. Here the shale is as thin as tissue paper. In these beds I saw no evidence for marine stratus or good as that of this morning in the lower Pennsylvanian - Point Edward forma- tion. Along the North Sydney line near the Nova Scotia Steel Company one sees several erect trees. One large Lepidodendron about three feet through was the best and it stood on a coral bed. Calamites are more common stand erect and nearly always we found by a coral seam.
