Tues. Feb. 2, 1909 The brinson orthite is much rippled, the clast str to miles apart. In the hollows of these ripples m a dense li occurs forre livralus in great abundance. Over the li. comes about 2 futy shale, and then 10 futy corn redded, fairly clean green sandstone. Then follows a long series of reddish shales and sandstone, the latter all much rippled. Now more coral payments are present, but no acropriate plants. No Cnemidites were seen. About 100 fut above the layers is a thin zone of orthite that has onceee livralus and a Patellatium. The livralus look most like Ochigodes, but none are more than Trivial ly. All of the brinson other than the marine find heavy beds are of desert deposits, though one sees here no system. Beds are present in thick beds to the south along the Railway. The whole is a ruin of brick red clays and sandstone, much rippled, though actual benn- cracking was not seen. Caliche joints are not dense.
