and the canities over [illegible] milk calcite crystal. These are in layers and also in lumps up to 6 miles across. It is not calcite because there are no ver- tical pipes. Then erenty truddel (just in part of Electric Power House) dense dark blue [illegible] and sandy vortulymic-like stone. Thickness probably 10 feet. Then more green and red shales, mostly 3/4 the greater out but they here red shales down to Sharran gunk. Thickness about 30 feet. Maybe 40 feet but probably nearer 30. Sharran gunk. Direct contact not seen here but the top of the Sharran gunk can be seen back of the village houses and above the stone bridge. It is very uneven and conglomer- tic, Sharran gunk then down the Rmdour Crack. It lies nearly horizontal, probably the top of an anticline. Have taken 3 photos of Ship Falls exposures. One at the lower end above the Shaw (don't tell John) and 2 at the monoclinial arch.
