shale seem to grade into conglomeratic limestone, striking north 30° 
west. Stratigraphically above this limestone is a fine-grained buff sand- 
stone, containing some carbonaceous matter and amber. Higher in series 
are white shale (marl?) and heavy-bedded, medium-grained, buff sand- 
stone. All beds dipping at high angle. Above sandstone is a calcareous 
sandstone. Collector, H. G. Schenck, November 4, 1920. 
Locality F868.—Catbalogan, about 1 kilometer southeast of Catbalogan 
pier, outcrop white, chalky marl with small intercalated layers of limestone. 
Outcrop characterized by color (white). This is in road cut. Fossiliferoug 
material from intercalated fragmental limestone on beach, overlain and 
underlain by hard, white marl. As one walks on beach across outcrop, 
the strike changes from north 65° east, dip 122° northwest, to north 85° east, 
with variations in dip. South 45° east from first rocky point on beach south- 
east of Catbalogan, about 80 meters from public washing place, is outcrop of 
dark fragmental limestone between layers of hard marl. Fault cuts series. 
Collector, H. G. Schenck, November 5, 1920. 
Locality F869.—Catbalogan, orbitoidal (lepidocyclinal) limestone from 
outcrop on beach at small bridge southeast of rocky point about 1.1 kilo- 
meters southeast of Catbalogan. ‘Alternate layers of limestone and marl. 
This limestone is light-colored in contradistinction to the dark limestone 
at F868. Doubtful attitude north 50° east, dip 30° northwest. Collector, 
H. G. Schenck, November 5, 1920. 
Locality F870—A., Wright; old name of town is Paranas. Prominent 
cliff at southern end of town, immediately south of old church, made up 
of slightly fossiliferous, bluish marl, containing Globigerina, with in- 
tercalated, hard layers of same material but lignitic. Strike north 40° 
east, dip 0° to 10° west. Normal fault: no attitude. Hard layers of 
more indurated phase of marl stand out definitely. 
B. At northern side of cliff, stratigraphically unconformably above A 
and 1 to 2 meters below surface of ground occur vertebrate remains in 
clay soil. Bones (some human) associated with Recent shells which are 
stratified and in one place cross-bedded. Bones scattered for a distance 
of about 5 meters horizontally. Probably a raised beach or old stream 
deposit, Recent in age. It is not probable that this is an old cemetery, 
Since there is none here now; natives know of no old graveyard, and 
an old well is 10 meters from locality. Collector, H. G. Schenck, Novem- 
ber 15, 1920. 
Locality F871—Coralline Malumbang (Pliocene) limestone at elevation 
390 (?) feet (about 130 meters) on Wright-Taft trail, about 7 kilometers 
in easterly direction from Bagakay and upstream from Marabgas on 
Malinao River. Small stream at base of 10-meter cliff flowing here north 
60° east. Collector, H. G. Schenck, November 19, 1920. 
Locality F872.—Fossiliferous Malumbang (Pliocene) limestone on left 
bank of Malinao River about 0.5 kilometer downstream from place where 
Wright-Taft trail first touches this river. Steep limestone hills on each 
side of stream, probably 200 meters high. Locality from which specimens 
taken is 15 meters above water and about 5 kilometers upstream from 
landing called Marabgas, municipality of Taft. Collectors, Moody and 
Schenck, November 19, 1920. 
Locality F873.—About 0.5 kilometer northeast from landing at sitio of 
Otoc, on Calbiga River, 3 kilometers upstream from Calbiga. Outcrop
