Collection 8/12/57/2 - 15' stratigraphically above #1 still in conglomerate #1. Collection 8/12/57/3 - from P.King's #2 conglomerate; one package of cobbles; one of sand size matrix. Collection 8/12/57/4 - from a greenish-gray shale at the base of #3 conglomerate of P.King. Collection 8/12/57/5 - pebbles from #4 conglomerate bed of King. Collection 8/12/57/6 - from calcarenite atop of #5 conglomerate of King. The calcarenite definitely interfigures, with the conglomerate here. {note: illustration followed} Collection 8/12/57/7 - from limestone #1 of P.King; shell hash. PG. 29 {note: illustration: conglo#1: 8/12/57/1; 8/12/57/2. conglo#2: 8/12/57/3 ss., shale conglo#3: 8/12/57/4 ss conglo#4: 8/12/57/5 conglo#5: 8/12/57/6 limest#1: 8/12/57/7 limest#2: 8/12/57/8} 8/12/57/8 - from limestone #2 interval 8/12/57/9 - from limestone #4 8/12/57/10 - from limestone #5 in road cut. {note: illustration: limest#3: 8/12/57/11 limest#4: 8/12/57/9 limest#5: 8/12/57/10} PG. 30 8/13/57 Wolfcamp Hills, SW end, Hess fm. Collection 8/13/57/1- bed #3 of Hess in King's Section 23. Collection 8/13/57/2 - in bed 4 of King's Sect. 23, Hess. Collection 8/13/57/3 - about 20' higher than 8/13/57/1 in bed #3. Collection 8/13/57/4 - From Hess Conglomerate Interval; King's section 23. These are fairly high in the Hess but seem to represent the lowest occurrence of these fusulines. The collection 8/13/57/4 seems to contain both reworked older fusulines and Hess fusulines in the sand size matrix. PG. 31 Two forest Oil Co. geologists out of Midland, Mr. Dillinger (?) and Mr. Harding, who are under Mr. Wayne Moore, arrived to study the oil possibilities in the Moore and Walker Ranches. They pumped me for information of which I'm
