Mrs Bryan of St. Louis teacher in New York Public Schools. Prof. William J. Copley, of Harvard. Professor and Mrs Saunders of Harvard (Cambridge). Bonaventure Coats of Peru. All the ore contained material all of igneous natures, with quartz veins and amygdaloid a red granite. Jasperilites facing common are some white and cream. Others have hard jasper, larger than 2 inches. Rock surrounded by clay and jasper; saw one Perceival piece up to 8" and underlying green layers. Some the first jasper, and much the jaspers overlying Cape Cammus Only red found in facing our beds, when sands more often embedded all into- gular deposits. Jaspers and clay, pink in and out quickly. Saw some current action but all in one direction on one layer and just above it with simple tests. Clearly a first order deposit of short duration.
