  — 
  

   West 
  of 
  the 
  Mississippi 
  the 
  gravel 
  is 
  reported 
  well 
  developed 
  on 
  

   both 
  the 
  northern 
  and 
  southern 
  borders 
  of 
  the 
  Grand 
  Gulf. 
  

   Clendenin 
  reports 
  a 
  very 
  extensive 
  gravel 
  pit 
  in 
  the 
  hills 
  of 
  

   southern 
  Rapides, 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Kansas 
  City, 
  Watkins 
  and 
  Gulf 
  

   railroad 
  where 
  large 
  quantities 
  of 
  gravel 
  are 
  obtained 
  for 
  rail- 
  

   road 
  ballast.* 
  According 
  to 
  Hopkins 
  it 
  is 
  quite 
  common 
  between 
  

   Cheneyville 
  and 
  the 
  lime 
  kiln 
  near 
  Bayou 
  Chicot. 
  f 
  Gravel 
  is 
  

   extremely 
  abundant 
  along 
  the 
  Iron 
  Mountain 
  Railroad 
  from 
  

   Alexandria 
  as 
  far 
  north 
  as 
  the 
  northern 
  boundary 
  of 
  the 
  Grand 
  

   Gulf, 
  where 
  it 
  suddenly 
  ceases. 
  All 
  along 
  the 
  northern 
  line 
  of 
  

   the 
  Grand 
  Gulf, 
  gravel 
  seems 
  to 
  be 
  quite 
  abundant. 
  It 
  has 
  

   been 
  reported 
  by 
  Hopkins 
  from 
  the 
  Harrisonburg 
  hills. 
  J 
  It 
  has 
  

   been 
  seen 
  by 
  the 
  junior 
  author 
  on 
  the 
  northern 
  edge 
  of 
  the 
  

   Grand 
  Gulf 
  just 
  south 
  of 
  Saddle 
  bayou 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  road 
  from 
  

   Colfax 
  to 
  Winnfield

  — 
  North 
  of 
  the 
  last 
  locality 
  

   referred 
  to 
  above 
  is 
  a 
  great 
  stretch 
  of 
  country 
  covered 
  with 
  

   fossiliferous 
  Jackson 
  and 
  Lower 
  Claiborne. 
  On 
  the 
  railroad, 
  

   the 
  first 
  place 
  where 
  gravels 
  are 
  exposed 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Grand 
  

   Gulf 
  territory 
  is 
  about 
  two 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  Manj' 
  on 
  about 
  the 
  

   line 
  of 
  parting 
  between 
  the 
  Lower 
  Claiborne 
  and 
  the 
  Lignitic. 
  

   Going 
  west 
  from 
  Many 
  no 
  gravel 
  is 
  seen 
  until 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  

   Sabinetown 
  is 
  reached. 
  The 
  gravel 
  caps 
  the 
  first 
  big 
  bluff 
  on 
  

   the 
  east 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  above 
  Sabinetown 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  

   Sabinetown 
  bluff 
  is 
  extremely 
  well 
  developed. 
  The 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  

   bluff 
  at 
  Pendletown 
  is 
  covered 
  with 
  extremely 
  red 
  sand 
  but 
  no 
  

   gravel 
  was 
  seen 
  in 
  it. 
  At 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Bayou 
  Negreet 
  

   Harris 
  found 
  a 
  pebble 
  conglomerate 
  containing 
  Lower 
  Claiborne 
  

   fossils. 
  The 
  fossils 
  were 
  poorly 
  preserved 
  and 
  ma}^ 
  have 
  been 
  

   . 
  redeposited.

  train. 
  — 
  In 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  state 
  the 
  gravel 
  is 
  almost 
  entirely 
  confined 
  to 
  the 
  two 
  

   great 
  gravel 
  trains 
  which 
  were 
  first 
  pointed 
  out 
  by 
  Lerch.
