"Against the Dilley is faulting the Loris formation, a series of greenish shales with an abundance of thin redded light blue and dark colored limestone. From the strut can it seemed as if the Dilley may fan unbroken into the Loris formation, but this view may be rather deceptive. The western end of the Loris appears to be rather the higher part of the formation since here the limestones dominate while to the east the conglomerates appear and more and more of shales. It is a thin redded green of li. of about 10 to 15 feet thick that I some years ago got the Humardina gome fauna. Below the Humardina gome, and beneath the conglomerate B in dark blue tiny shale is where Eldania, Tetrapodus and Ridgwayoptus occurs. Some distance above is a thin green with Phyllagraptus. Collected all the good material found see. It began to rain at 3 P.M. and so I re- turned to the Chateau Fontenais.
