Secured but little from the Italians in the
S.x.O. R.R. hall of guano's. On the dumps collected
ammonia fossils from various horizons but in the area for
the Middle Cretaceous gone, the horizon with Tectona-
lits gyrocanthus.
Reeds measured the beds in the quarry
and found the shale gone beneath the Lower Orestay
16 feet thick or 27 feet less than at 2/3 Bridge.
The cherty limestones with macropleura are 17' 6" thick,
the upper then feet being transitional in that they are then
limestone separated by shale. The higher shales are clenny
pure limestones. There seems therefore to be form
for eroded out here more than or 21/3 Bridge.
The macropleura cherty limestones contain many
round into others than cherty limestones but these have
