Murray's Newfoundland Report. Lorrain Cambrie in N.-E. Mfdl. has a thick. of 1153 fts. 2000' Div. B. Salt Water Sand Series Division A. Clods Not acres 2000' {Has Meomacis cramentanus (see pp. 9-11). Slate and limestone, Beneath these are slates 1700' thick Then 35' slate, and cryl marata Then about 2000' of divide. All of them are regarded as if Cambrie age but in some parts the that they are pre-cambrie. Dir C. 900 {Li. c slate, Mr fossils, etc., thus may be Upper Cambrie. All more or less disturbed and metamorphosed. Then 730 fts of mica-slate without fossils, followed by a great limestone series 1046 fts also without recorded fossils. These Murray refers to the "Potsdam" and regards them as below the "Suckee". Murray is constantly much in doubt in regard to his structure and it is not at all certain that in this region are such great thicknesses of Cambrie material. The follows a part series of limestone, dolomite, and slate, of which 3700 fts is the measured section, but states that the thickness is nearer 4200 fts followed by cryl marata all divide, and superficial of it 1500 fts more. On a give 260 fts thick 600 fts above the base Lejib (Macleania) normani, Me speciosa, Ors camulata, P. recurus arantini, Ort recurus aluminiferose, and Battigera are. (J.J. 19-21), As these are "Calci form fossils" it is fair to assume
