out its relations. I have four photos of this series.
Shortly beyond the conglomerate appears Ogygoceras,
very imperfect limestone and chert, that are of the Windsor
series. Here I saw Spiriferina, Orthinia globa, the
Coral of the circular layers, Lingula like media, Per
ductus also occurs here. It seemed to me that
the Windsor series is here cut off on both side by
faults. No gypsum appears here, nor do the beds
in their lithology in any way suggest the Windsor
series at Windsor. The series is several hundred feet thick.
To the east of the Windsor series dipping in the
opposite direction from the eastern Pennosylvanic series,
appears a great thickness of coarse bedding sandstones and
thick zones of unstratified brick red clay smutted with
Hatches of greenish-white spots that appear to be con-
tinental deposits. There are also zones of pebble conglomerates,
the pebbles of which are not of fine rolling but are out-
curved pieces of sandstones and cherts. Bell says the
same series comes in at the Jogging above the
Windsor and below the Drilestone Series. Just what
this continental series represents I cannot yet tell.
The next day one saw the same continental series
to the east of Panstoro lying against the "Devonic".
