New Zealand shale with a terling of the line Shinn Haecr chat, New Zealand shale 3 feet [illegible] coal measure New Zealand li. To the outcrops? Drost of my New Zealands finds came from the lower foot. The Cumbria an Dal, planco mureza came from above the overlap portion Look up a former notes. Then for these upper shales merge with a shot Transition into the Shinnr chart. The lower shale rest sharply in the great Regan quarries there is now no residued clay between the Regan and Cregman (now on 6 foot thick), and there none between the latter and the New Zealand. There is an irregular residual clay layer in the center of the Cregman. It has nothing to do with known at Regan. There is not developed a large new quarry in the Fordway. The older one in the Regan end upward horizon is larger and deeper than ever, Left Regan at 11.35 for Potmne.
