Jones 7 (295 feet) and 8 (400 feet) shale I did not see because I found it difficult to go down the midway stream bed. Will try it another day from the sea side. After seeing the Manuels Brook section north northwest about 3 miles along the Reid Newfoundland Railway. A few hundred yards west of the railway landing platform are small exposures of the basal Cambrian. These are well described by Dale (Washington Acad. Sci., 1900: 313-4) It is here near the railway platform (1/2 mile west) than I got the only fossils of the day. They are in a decomposed earthy limestone or rather slightly calcareous ferriferous shale. The trilobites are all in fragments and of which the glabella of Heteropleura are the commonest. Obolella atlantica is also common. Jan Microdiscus Helena and Platyceras pri- matialis or primaveria. Shortly to the north is another exposure of the basal conglomerate but I did not see the "spindle limestone" with the strolithes.
