"[illegible] are quite aplana
and irregularly scattered through the sandstone. Many stand transverse to the bedding of the sandstone.
The dip is like the higher C conglomerate to the S, at an angle of about 45°. This probably are of 100 feet thick in ship sands.
Many of the li. boulders are themselves a fine conglomerate under 1 inch. In these the pebbles are all small and not at all rounded, a lapmotized material, rather a breccia.
The higher C conglomerate I have already described as to succession and nature of the strata at the ship sands. Even though these sandstones clearly show much bedding in the bedded clay sandstone with the black shale (to be found there) they are conglomeratic with li. pebbles as soon as the beds are coarse sands as in these beds. Certain groups have a fair abundance of li. cogs, but the pieces are here worn up into fine grains. There is no distinct aren'ty on bedding of them. But a scattering mass of li. pebbles usually small that traces of 2ft big maybe seen. I looked and
