"Holmsfelv" Then the Harejor formation as elsewhere of softer muddy limestone for 112 ft. Here the Creymans fossils in greater abundance. Then the Stronghouse formation capped at the top as elsewhere by hard li. Thick beds. Then the Chimney Hill limestone Again I see no evidence (lithologically) to distinguish the Stronghouse ad Harejor formations from the Bois d'Arc. All appears to agree to be the earliest known Neornia sequence. Are then drive again to three miles north west of Donahue, and to the east of the Santa Fe R.R. to a place where an oil well capped by fire has been drilled into an Ordovician dome that gets a very thick oil, practically an asphalt. Here in a small stream within a quarter mile of the well one sees the top of the Viola lime- stone, a brittle light colored thin fidded lower stone. It has much erminulated fossils,
