Haell shales have thin grms of li. coal, these beds are from
6 inch to about 18 inch thick. At the top of the sandstone
I get foliform propeticis of this specin. At the base of the li.
coal some I got two specimens of Phyllograpthus, and in
another close adjacent some a fine Tetropterus and
other forms. This then proves that some of these shales
carry St. Joseph are Lewis and not Liley.
Back to the hotel at 1.30. Had dinner and
at 3:15 came off for home.
There are more brilliant red shales but in this grms
at the east end of the big Lewis cut, from there
is not enough red shales to make the foreign Liley.
