overlain by a chalk bed about 6 or 7 feet thick which is grey blue when weathered but appears to be quite red when unwreathed, as it is in Bleech Shely's synopsis. The top of the shale has a thin bark of limonite ore (zinco) and on this soft foliage loose sandy beds. There can be no doubt that the Candle Creek is true Lithology since nearly all of the characteristic blue jost are here or are represented by chalk related forms. The only typical I close are Spiderum auratus and Ericocinrus,
