Horsten Bluff Tuesday May 26.
Between Horsten and Amport.
At the eastern end of the shore bluff east of the

following. The main rock are thick beds of arkose
conglomerates. The material is coarse, the pebbles averaging
about 1/8 to 3/8 inch with individual grind quartz
pebbles up to 1 1/4 inches across. One half of the ar-
kose is feldspar some fresh and other some a less
carbonized. There is also much black muscovite
The pieces ranged up to 3 1/2 inch across
that in untransformed are still heals in laminae. Then

material is a fagmental granite rock carried far
from the source of supply, because none of the quartz
pebbles are rounded; only the edges to the smallest
extent are worn away. The bedding is torrential
in heavy cross-bedding, and often deeply and sharply
channelled into the red clays. Then there are local
and quartz pebbles, also pebble

much fagmental plant material and spore cases
of 1/8 inch in diameter. Then too there are in
