" white arg. " Down, Rev. of G.W. Clinton here is 1685+ feet. Salina series. Over the Haurangunk follows a turned gone fn 168 feet and from the nature of the gromle thin in shale or at least sandy sand-stone in here. It may quite be that these beds should be added to the Haurangunk and that they represent the upper shaly series seen generally at Altrovile. (294) Then follows a sandstone series, fine grain and derived of the Haurangunk pebbles and Hack Stone inclusions. The top the sands are finer in grain and dirtier. There are also some shale gms and at 65 feet above the base appear red sandy shales. We now get more and more of the regular Salina aspect as is planned at the beginning of this days descriptions. The section flattens out into a great undulating syncline so that I made no effort to estimate the thickness. Of course beyond (north) the village of Dratu Falls. The thickness is probably correct as 1685 feet, but only in connecting it with the Clinton.
