Near Talfo station we had much evidence
of shallow seas, First there was an abundance of sun-
cracding; three times one of which had a thickness of about
10 ft. Second the same ripples, Third an abundance

fours sometimes large at a time's edgeing, The layers
bedded generally not laminated darker linestimes are
made of of orlite and these are often reptile with
intraformational englimate pieces of smalle size. Fifth
in a few places more to be seen large mud lates in
the thicker bedded grms of intraformetional crgl, The laminae
are of some dense light blue li, in thin grms, se-
furated by yellnish to brownish thinner bands darky
and very fine sand.

Forils once not seen in any of these beds, The lime
is mostly precipitated by denity for lactura.
Often it is almost pure, and of exceedingly fine
grain.
