Here the section is at the top thin bedded red sandstone with shale partings for 10 feet. (Above these are more thin bedded order of the same kind for at least 15 feet and then this 8 feet seen above the canal level). Belms are white sandstone thinly bedded above only once or twice then shale goes and then heavy bedded sandstones. One sees 10 feet here but there are at least 20 feet down to the level of the creek. At the top of this zone Leptolina curcata is common. They also occur in the lower part of the thin bedded red shales and sandstones, In the distance follows the white sandstone I could see about 5 feet of Queenston shale down to stream level. Above the Falls one sees the upper red sandstone and sandy shales through a thickness of 10 to 22 feet. Near the top is the 30 inch zone of A. dactyloides while throughout the mass we sees once or less of A. harlani. As I did not see the Grey Band saw my Dictyoliths or fossil Buns cracks.
