Orchestre July 18792. Thursday. Starts out with a wagon at 7.30 A.M. in Hundlepe, The Red Shales seen yesterday continue with the same dip and strike N at least a mile further into Els'. S. 4 which should therefore be S. 1. About 3 miles further south (a little muddy Hundlege) we came upon a syncline, Starting at the north it is as follows: Heavily cross hidded coarse Sandstone the dip of which cannot be made out Dark grey sh with the oo. About 30 feet. Lay pebbles only then fine sandstone About 30 feet Then reddish coarse for sandstone.

Lay out and about 20 ft. Sandmill Here Bent bedded red sh, and sandstone About 5 to 6 o foot Section reflects itself gray south around a little print Finally we comes upon the thick zone of sandstone D Dust S Sandstone D. It's a thin hidded coarse, heavily cross- hidded gneiss sandstone with prostrate Craig lags of Corailes. Calanites are also common, and pieces of leaves of Cordaite are also present.
