There is probaly 16 fut one of Magovillian in which the Rafinoquinus abounds as before, but there no P. long. The Massoville formed terminate with the from [illegible] R. jendersons, then about 10 fut I shore with less abundant limestone bands, thus state to the Richmondian. There is certain of no physical break here though the water Magovillian deeper very shallow during later, and it would appear that the water is again becoming deeper with the today Richmondian fauna appearing. In these ten fut saw no direct evidence of Richmondian forms that I knew. The byzora only shows it. At the last visit got the Rich. beds near. These last 37 fut of Magovillian seem to show a shallowing of the water for most of the byzora and other forms cranick and the Rafinoquina take poss- ession of the whole sea way. Then finally the Platystrophic come in and almost kill off the Rafinoquina. Many are of the former are half shells and many of these are mud four room and etched; the white ones are in the position of growth, entroos down. With the arrival of Richmond time gradually the sea deepens and a new fauna arrives. There is no break in sedimentation.
