Memorina lilia frond., Lot 3.
Thin ledged shelly limestone with fossils mainly
brachiopods and gastropods. On account of the peculiar
breathing of the rocks I have called them "pic-
turesque reefs". Henri photo, French print,
that limestones with Corals near Big Point
just beyond Picturesque reefs. Lot 5.
This print is probably less than 1/4 of the section
and from here upwards may be all the beds are
of scale. Variegated scales with zones of
semi-encrusted muds. But few fossils. A
first thickness.
Yellow, sandy soft shales just above the first
turtle. Does a few fossils. See them. A
small Atypus reticulatus and a Verruca new
frithieri, or I. cordata. Lot 6
Greenish shales with corals just below the first
turtle. See specimen. Lot 7
Canda-falli shells.
Once variegated shales with here and there
with coral. Standards of 1st thickness.
