leaving bedded and tending the less red, more pinkish but as as cross bedded as those below. The next 19 1/2 feet are the same as those just below, at 60 feet above base "Berlithus with scattered to bedding come in the next feet, The red and pinkish calcareous conglomerate between the 3d and 4 terraces has a thickness of 25 feet. Its heavy bedded, cross bedded and thin in for less of felspars here than below. The grains are also smaller. I came character of conglomerate for 25 feet to top of next terrace. At about 130' above base as a rule Over the top Berlithus are common. And on the Tododome I, lireous Here the tubs are about 4 inches long and 3/8 inch wide at top. The slope of the 5th terrace is about 17 feet to the steep rise of the first peal cliff. It then continues for 67'6" to the top of the peak cliff to the last erasure gained and locally conglomeratic pinkish, heavy bedded sandstone. The upper 2 feet has rounded pebbles of Trachyte calcite up to 6 inches long and more depressed. Then 7'6" of then bedded pinkish felsin gained sandstone. This gives us here 219 feet of conglomerate up to the Archaeocystatherina reef. Logan has 231 feet. The Archaeocystatherina reef has a greater visible thickness of 12' 4" and a thinwork of 11 feet. It is a true coral like reef with sandstone intervals of limestone and four caves or even shaly. Then there is 12' 10" of other irregular beds that join place to place fairly on the reef character. This is to the top of the creek in edge of hill at this place. We have them for all we see 25 feet of this coral reef here. At the bottom the reef is wavy. At about one hundred feet above base Above the Archaeocystatherina reef in the 6th terrace and thus slope cross about 100 feet of sterile the character of which is not seen.
