AT 863 the rocks slightly cherty and
at 871 it becomes more distinctly
cherty,
Up to 889 from 871 there are indist.
fragments in crease, but almost
all of the rock consists of rocks
like upper travely clay rocks
kindly cracked up into small
fragments or layer mass, where
as underneath,
Collected from 830 to 860.
Going northward along ridge road
from 986, the formation cherty rises to
876. From 820 further S., [illegible],
I found one at 874, at 869 some-
what cherty limestone.
Beneath this is upper Wawky
shaly clay rock.
Beneath this is the more solid
freest and like rocks as in road
East of D. roads, from 850 down
to 800 and down to 780, much
less solid so that it weather
shaly when dry exposed but appears
much more solid when freshly
exposed.
Beneath this level the shaly clay
Wawky rock appears practically
with no ferruginous modules
[illegible]
From edge to 540
892 and northward
still lower but exposures are too
poor for measurement.
450 - No evidence of anything so low
as Ginietta clay as creek bed at
473, = 1/2 mi. S by South Park Sta.
From End Ridge along the road
following east side gravel road,
for 1/2 mile only gulfish from
Wawky above the Ginietta clay is
shewn. Rest of this stretch as far as
451 there apparently is Ginietta clay
but exposures are poor.
452 - One + a half miles north west of
Barkers Shaly Wawky just above
Ginietta clay, a top of Ginietta
clay. Ferruginous Modules can
be in British clay;
Henry R Sanders knows where
Specimens on Butts or Wawdy
were formerly found, about 10
miles east of Warren by mi No 520
on west side of branch.
