Madway Irons 5½ ft sandy free-lime and clay-milk, large bryoz. 1½ ft from top. Lefelasma at base. Oratophis cyphomamma. 14 ft firm above down to level with Rhyn-cholina dentatum in silt. This is at entrance of Wajm wood cutt off shed into the creek, for crossing to west side. 10 ft drive to lift a strongly cracked bedded layers, with Lefelasma down as far as explorer got - almost to base. 179) Retrosa distinct above the Rhyn-cholina dentatum horizon here. 180) 100yds N of Mr Christ Richardson Lefelasma + retrosa occur about 5 ft massive coarse limestone. Rhynch. dentatum & Charnia bella - coarse layer, not seen alone to with Lefelasma.

Stargt Lefelasma & Silophic retrusa occur above, imme-diately, 183) 568 = top of massive limestone with Lefelasma alive, at point west of 607 ft level on jibber. 135) retrusa is found just below coarse 5 ft layer. large, whether in silt or not if not known but should not be impossible.
