"Ordibopsis cracentica" at the common frois, [This is probably the Lomariae] At about 220 feet above the railway bridge, one came upon the Catalysens heads gone daring also Struthomena quadrifera and Fasmotus. See our small list of frois. We are still in the Blue shale gone, though there are more then limestone layers than when down.^ This must be Whitakers upper Catalysens gone. 86 feet higher or 306 feet above the bridge the thin redded limestone begins to predominate, there also occur all of the layers are beautifully rippled. Struthomena, Rhipidogona alternata, Embro- radiate with many hyzon predominates here. The strata is still blue. Decided Rippling continues all the way to the next gote^ or at least 30 feet higher. There is also some own-eroceling. Frois are far scarcer and trachy-pots then than Eggeopina modesta are about. 30 feet higher one gets the first evidence of brick red beds interbedded with the blue shales and sandy limestones. Here the red beds are decidedly down-cracked. Then follow alternations of green and red beds, with crinkled clays are more a less rippled and own-cracked and practically down
