in thickness - thinning and thickening and
pinching out horizontally.
Of the Eden in Godmans Brook one
sees out more than about 110 fut from the
railway bridge to the lake shore. The thickness
of 215 of fut is based on the depth of the
Collingwood Mountains less the known thickness
of the other formations. It consists 99% of
Blue shales and but rarely does one see here
an ajillaceous li. Fossils are very scarce
and almost all are byzora.
There is no break between the Eden and
the Lorraine and the latter and the Richmond.
The Richmond between Breasford and
Collingwood is also a shale formation and
at not one-half of it (at least 130 fut) is red
a varigated in color. Probably not more than
10% of it is ajillaceous or crystalline
limestone. The chief fossils are byzora and
trilobes while the brachiopods are compara-
tively rare. Corals are almost absent and
merely them where seen on Collingwood
Mountain. Just beneath the red beds the li. pre-
dominate for 30 fut or more.
