There is an extraordinary amount of supply
as often can be picking in the sandstone of the Penns-
ylvania, in fact very sometimes red is picked
and green bedded. Sometimes the sandstone pre-
dominate, and the [illegible] red shale, and then again
two to an equal amount of both. The shales
as a rule are one joint to brick, and it is rare
to see green shales. At least one small green
mass seen today in the Piston, and it had one
species [illegible] more preserved and common.
Nearly all the plant evidence is of Calamites
and Cordaite leaves in the sandstone. When
the Calcicke conglomerate are present there may
be preserved an abundance of Cordaite wood.
One fine trunk was seen in the Lismore tr.
day near the Mallefark Salt Mine.
Semi-circled and rain prints were not seen
or at least rare, but much of my inspection was
too dusty to note them.
