For the greenish finely crystalline igneous material of which I have samples. It is very nearly related as in the same sort grain The surface on which the Cambrian lies is hummocky but me cannot tell how uneven the floor was. There are no heads sticking through the Cambrian. The fruides of the igneous material and of quartz are well rounded and of all sizes, largest at the base and becoming smaller upward. It is as described by Dralett. The smaller pieces due more apt to be angular. "Strike N. 80 E (mag.); Dip 12 to 13 N." This conglomerate is decidedly compact and hard. 0-25 feet June 2.
