"is in due between the red Storehouse and the"
"red Devonian"
of Peel. Probably as much as 1000 feet. If
this observation is correct then the Silurian
marine series has a thickness of not less than
4500 feet followed by about another 1000 feet of
or more
red Devonian beds.
Over the Silurian and Devonian un-
conformably lie the Zonne Brinksen series. It
has been deformed since its deposition.
The question will then be asked as to what
is the age of the "Red Devonian". If it is unbroken
with the Silurian it is either all Silurian, or
to judge by the Garpe sequence it may go up
into the Devonian quite high. At Arriway con-
tinental conditions begin in late Storehouse time
(may mean early Lelina time), while at Garpe
it did not start until Middle Devonian time,
