enough to be seen from the train over the tops of the mountains of Mount Sinai peninsula. The day rapidly became warmer but by no means in it warm. At 12.30 White and I started up the hill back of camp to hunt fossils. No sedimentary was visible until we reached an altitude of about 1440 feet where sandstone beds with dark shale are cut round in bold cliffs. Mr. White and myself a few plants and one or two invertebrates. Higher up at 1900 feet found a large dichotidom which came down from beds spread between 2100 and 2200 feet. These upper beds appear to be horizontal. We then collected over of camp a short distance at an altitude of about 175 feet where we found one plants and one cricoid. We then went about one mile west of camp to a shale bank from sea level up about 75 feet. Here we found a some of number of invertebrates and a few plants. These are the red beds of Steerchips but they are in no way allured by heat. Their red color is due to exposure to the air. Inside they are dark carbonaceous shale. Collected a few recent plants.
