the lagoon at 18 mile creek below
the thin limestone band. On hill
place this limestone is also present
but there are several bands and
with the intermediate shale probably
200 three feet thickly. Below the
limestone occur the coral horizon
which is about four feet thick.
Here the corals are far more
abundant and better preserved, the
mass consisting of a Diphyphyllum
coral species of Favosites some
in very large masses, Michelinii,
and hundreds of Heliphyllum
Halli and varities. Brachiopods
are scarce and those present are
generally small specimens and
single valves. Bryozoa are more
abundant than at 18 mile creek.
Mr. C. J. Hill (P.O. Ad. Le Roy)
will gather corals for the museum
at $5 per Hbl. or at the rate 12 1/2
c per hour. I asked him to
put up from me one or two Hbs.
