have gone over the Deluvian hill to the crest of the Basperan valley. The present general topography was established since the Triassic for these deposits lies in the vallies but formerly did not outtop the Basperane ridge. It is the general belief that there is no Triassic in the lower part of this valley. However Heyerall states that in oral digging Triassic was encountered in the upper Basperan valley. It is this Triassic deposit that has preserved the topography of the Permian times. At White Rock in the upper Basperan valley we came upon orthirich quartzites and limer slates. The dip of either is hard to make out. Everywhere where we saw the slates ochistrity is developed, in other words it is axial ochistrity. Finally we found the locality for Dictymena websteri at Rock Hill
