get and than for specimens although we saw more than
are five.
Of the Eospongia are our specimens, 12 inches in diameter.
Of these one has pieces. Of the annulated cylindrical sponge one fit some nice material and one from was
18 inches long.
All four entire and better trilobites are from zone 11
but we saw and probably have more material from zone 10.
The gastropods are in greater abundance in zone 10 and the lower half of zone 11.
Of Endornus we saw only siphonelos in zone 10 but in zone
11 there are far more abundant and often one a lens of the
entire shell is present. Portals from Euryotmites came
from the lower half of zone 11.
The strike of the strata 2 miles east of Point Pich lighthouse
is N. 25 W. Dip 48. At about 1/2 miles east of the
lighthouse it is N. 50 E. Dip 10 D. Near the lighthouse
there are minor more undulations. The prevailing dip
is towards the land.
On seeing the trails of zone 11 we provisionally correlate
it with the Sponge zone of the Oregon Island Chage. This is done
mainly on the basis of the sponges and the first abundance byssus.
Some of the gastropods are probably also in common but not
a single brachipod has been seen that occurs in both
places. If this correlation turns out then zones 9 and 10 are
about or Oregon between the Oregon and Romaine formations
while in Newfoundland the section appears to be complete.
