3 No proof observed that tliis group is unconformable either with the over- or under-lying rock«. ^^ 



* Certain rocks afterward separated from this group under the name of Coastal were placed in the abo 

 group as Upper Devonian, because they overlie the Dadoxylon Sandstone couforma.bly (or nearly so), ^ 

 underlie the Carboniferous unconformably, while they partake of the llexures of the Devonian series.

Middle and Upper Devonian. -j^g
