deposited in the sea. It is a place of this kind that he

tremble from limestone conglomerate. In the Highgate
shales we see very rarely a piece of limestone. One piece
about 6 inches long and 1 1/4 thick stood vertically in the
slate. These look as if dropped by ice-bugs into the
muddy bottoms over the slate.
North of St Albans the Bramton conglomerates show
more than elsewhere signs of infilling dolomite with much
round grain sand. In all of the Cambrian other sand
is present it is of this round grain kind. It partly
is of early Lower Cambrian making, and it is thus once
that furnishes it for later deposits. It has no climatic
significance except in the Lower Cambrian, and one
does it in a question if it is out of Pattergne origin.
