The Niagaran (higher) series is much thinner at our faultier ferry in the canal, a shale series with thin bands of limestone (2 to 6" thick). The Dolina series should begin with a sandstone 8 feet thick. Otherwise as my section, All of the [illegible] series is decidedly sun-cracked [Ricks has a photo]. These are plain visible up to the top of the fault covered well. They are seen again at various levels up to the decided thin red clay limestone of the upper Dolina. In fact the entire Lower Dolina at different horizons sun cracked but especially the lower half with the cement gone. The Upper Dolina as I left you girls but find found and saw nothing Today to add to the former collection. Passing around the cut and up the Brinckston Rural one comes abreast upon the Cladozona rectilincata beds, of the Marlinos. Higher up, just half 35 feet, appear the coral beds with Farnitis Echinoforina au Bryozoa, just as the same beds as those seen at Carl Valley. Still some higher for 10 to 20 feet appear bed with Placipora ramux- cens, Reusselaria, Hederella, Philidopsis and Ostreocoda. A little farther on saw some bone chalk.
