"previous Salina sea. The Latman series here west of Lorus Leap sand mill is very much like that at Pinto and consists of mud and thin limestone now eroded in places interspersed with the lens of arg. li., flour li., rarely an oolite as once nearly still a sandstone zone. In the lower portion about the equivalent of the Cement beds there is more sandstone given than at Pinto and rather here suggests Cement beds. Here are the two outcrops, Rhyne = a Rhyne to medium Beltor the above are still other beds of the Salinian that had referred to the Niogaran. These beds do not have large Lepidolithia and one zone of sandstone is very thick about 25 feet thick known as the Keeper member. In it is a dark shale and the reddish sandstone having Strophomenella. The Cement series here begins with the red sandstones of prominent developments and last of Tolonaway. In the Cement beds the large Lepidolithia appears and an abundance of ostracodes. The crinoid list this year's east of the Hancock sand mill occurs in the Creynans dam at least 50 feet from top. Coming over Capon mountain we again found the Cystic beds. Saw many plates and stems of Lepidocrinus manulius
