suggests the presence of Devonian here.
In reading Elles crop notes one gets the idea
that his Devonian of the Case species are the
gray conglomerates as seen today at Red Cape. To
me they are however nothing more than that as I see
of the Bmarantium. Further I saw no uncompravity
between the gray and red conglomerates - both one of
one series and are comparable all successive. Elles
writes of an abundance of corals and brachiopods. It

Now that I have seen the Diluvian of Port
Daniel, Black Cape and Ariswig I cannot
