tiful as in the quarry, could it probably be the same layers.
This horizon is 550 feet above base.
Saw one about 200 feet higher and then again at
about 700 feet above the base. All in the second cut
on railway.

highly inclined
stripping one sees that the Charrang group is introducing
more shale and some of the beds are barely a foot thick.
Here too the conglomerates have chipped out about the sand-

to 100 feet higher I again saw unmistakable Arthro-
fycus. This is in the cut to the north of the semiphone
port
Boring south between 77 and 78 mile posts for Jerry
city one sees yellowish and less often reddish shales with
(1-3-4 feet)
thick beds of sandstones. As one goes along the strike out around
