We then stopped at Jones' Hill to take a quick look at the Martins red sandstone under- lying the Dinorose but not all sandstone since we saw one zone of pink cl. silt, s.t.b. far thick. These sandstones are red with ferric iron are sometimes rippled (oscillation type) by small as not deep ripples. The muddy layers are sun-cracked and in one zone my fingers felt what appears to be rain pittings. There are also faucoidal re- main, one of which appears to be articulate. Saw no animal remains. These sands must have been laid down on tidal flats and therepu in very shallow water. Reith give their thick- ess as 300 feet plus down to north west. Came 130 miles Stopping at Mrs Grace Tolders' county hotel. * Reith describes the Millton-Clachatu contact here as "conformable and cut out six fath Clachatu, bringing out the underlying siltymy."
