1/, m. thickness, dipping 20 to 30° N.N.W. and striking N. 80° E. 
with vertical joint-planes. The thick banks have weathered into 
round-edged blocks, a finer stratification in places being observable. 
This first examination did not yield any fossils from these rocks. 
The upper edge of the hard marls forms a small platform and 
above this begins the limestone mentioned above. 
his dimestone presents the following section from below upwards 
to the west of the platform: 
About 40 m. grey or white dolomitie limestone, sometimes sugar- 
grained, mostly very fine-grained, sometimes slightly stratified, with 
a very rough, sharp-edged surface of brecciated appearance, some- 
times with undulations on the joints like ripplemarks, i.e. the 
ordinary aspect of limestone rocks. The lower 20 m. are fine- 
grained, grey, with indistinct veins of white calcite, the uppermost 
20 m. are dolomitic, brighter and sometimes a little sugary in ten- 
ture. On the slope next to this limestone lie the blocks with the 
trilobites. Still higher when ascending along the path fine-grained 
limestone of 2 m. thickness occurs, greyish white with fine white 
streaks, further two metres of grey limestone and then again about 
ten metres of greyish white fine-banded limestone and finally about 
15 m. of unstratitied limestone with a rugged surface. 
Above the highest point of the path where the dip of the strata 
is 20° S.S.E. still further occur when climbing in a W.S.W. 
direction about 15 m. of fine-grained dark grey limestone, which 
a little higher appears to alternate with a rock containing the 
trilobites, although this could not be clearly stated without digging. 
The uppermost bank consists of a greyish white dolomite, at least 
4 m. thick and is underlain by rather thin banks of reddish limestone 
containing ecrinoids. The trochites have become entirely crystalline. 
Above the uppermost limestone shale was found of a grey colour 
and this seems to prevail until the top of this mountain, 25 m. 
higher. The strata with trilobites and brachiopods appear to be 
entirely absent above the limestone. 
Following up the footpath from these limestones one reaches at a distance of 
more than one hour farther the great Aloer Karangpoetih (?), the whole bed of which 
is filled with gravel and boulders of rocks of a dirty white to milky white sugar- 
grained and fine-grained dolomite, the latter resembling vein quartz. After a 
long march through this river an old footpath on the right bank was found 
leading upwards to a northern foretop of the Goenoeng (mountain) Karang Poetih 
in a southern direction. Along this path a limestone wall of at least 100 m. 
thickness is found, apparently horizontally stratified and containing (at any rate in 
the highest zone) many grey or grey-black, much fractured and weathered cudgel-
