Then examined the Lorn Baptand seen on Satudae. Before getting to the sections one looked at a conglomerate mass that may be basal to the Lorn Baptist. Pethles many of lie, and small signs of to a foot long rounded to subangular. These lie reminded one of the Ordovician. Some Ostra- culite marginal pieces also present. One pettle had from prints, a small Lingulella and piece of trilobites, reminding me of Upper Cambrian or Ordovician. Then looked at the great conglomerate in the Lorn Baptist thought by Blanchard to be "basal" Baptist. How the blocks are all large many for furniture or more and nearly all of criminal limestone. There of the Permians signs are also other prints, and so pettles for that eros. According this conglomerate is a kind of intraformational conglomerate since all the fossils any Lorn Baptist time, due to prints and one small boulder. This conglomerate must have formed at the base of a cliff, and in thickness according to Blanchard vary from 10 to 300 feet. The Lorn Baptist - "Tremor" unconformity seen yesterday had no basal conglomerate at all.
