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.
