five forms all segments of tridmites and maybe one of the [illegible]. The strata here lie in a syncline. At the base of the [illegible] reccm Hæelfimile oodles, out of which came the one tridmite dead millt puccheels attached. These slates are once or km fended and one sees on the west side about 30 to 40 fut. Then comes the banded shaly limestones and cal- carous shales the whole may marked into a damogments The thickness is somewhere between 60 mils per feet. The layers are usually from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch thick, that gives of several miles and some up to six or more miles reccm. At different irregular levels reccm lenses of intra formation conglomerate. Some of these show clear that they are churned up and mixed at the time of their accumulation. In this intraformational cong. there are also always some of the rounded grain sands. These intraf, cong. ranges from a few inches to 4 or 5 feet thick and in length from a few yards to many yards long. Or far as can be seen all are in that lenses. Returned to this place in the afternoon and Clentlar found a little lens that yielded about two dozen tridmites. To one those tridmites also look when Cambrian, though they are different from those of the Ordovician.
