[Coll.] red bed I got a small piece of Tetra- decim fibratum, but it could have been crushed then at the time of deposition for it was the only fossil I saw and it was but a small fragment. The Boddam's Brook section comes with 128 feet of green and red shales with their beds of impure limestone, but the red shales dominate. Fossils are practically absent but at the top Williams for some Trigonia. This section is here incomplete and a mere reliable tip. Can be walked not along the road side seen yesterday just miles south of Collingwood. There can be no doubt that all of the Boddam's Brook section is Rict- ommdian and yet nearly all the guide fossils are here absent. I saw none of them yesterday south of Collingwood and yet one have not seen P. Capax. The Richmondian here in the Benjin Bay region will pretty go to me.
