Smith Reef Light House June rain June 14. Sunday three miles east of the Light Started out for the Jumps, where the contact between the granular crinoidal li- mestone, Richardson F, and the thin bedded blue limestone and shale, Division F, may be seen. Many fossils are to be had but all are in slabs. The lower part of F is regularly bedded light colored limestone with green shale facing. Blue Farroites famous in the shells rarely more than 1/2 inch thick al- of 2 to 3 feet diameter is the common fossil. With this also occurs Ptychophyllum Alveolata, Stromatopora, very rare Dolostone. Gradually the crinoids are displaced by the crinoids and then the limestone or nearly crinoide until near the top where a few other fossils may be picked up. The crinoids pre- dominate the fauna to the crinoid plus a clermontian sea,
