No. 116. "Junction of limestone and basalt, in bay south of 

 Waterfall, east coast." 



An indurated limestone of a deep yellow coloiir, in conjunction 

 with an inti'usion or flow of basalt. The infilling of the organisms 

 in the limestone is coarsclj- crystalline. At the junction of the 

 limestone with the basalt there is a layer of minute pellets 

 (calcareous algoe ?). In the body of the limestone there are 

 numerous clear augite crystals worked out of the basalt. The 

 organic contents of the limestone are Lithothamnion, foramiuifera, 

 echinoderm spines, and moUuscan shells. This limestone passes 

 rapidly into a fine grained chalky rock, with delicate foraminifera 

 and partially' decomposed Lithothamnion.
