"In the paper of 1900 [illegible] describes [illegible] as "a
ferruginous, semi-carbonated, earthy limestone, with
nodules of red hematite in the upper portion, and irregular
crevices, or pellets I may say, of [illegible] limestone in
which fragments of Glenelles and Agnauts were found."
I take it to be a nodular li., a type of deposit
often seen in the Lower Cambrian of Newfoundland. As
the fossils are not of foreign nodules therefore this zone
is still Lower Cambrian. The upper surface of [illegible]
shows land conditions and marks the place
for beginning the Middle Cambrian.
Zone 6 in the paper of 1900 are regarded as representing
the Port Clinton time. I do not see the presence of this fauna
according to [illegible] list of 1884.
The lower 6C full of zone 7 and Cardovides time, and
all above it are of Upper Cambrian time. In this view
