 Part III, The Cretaceous and Tertiary flora." Mon. Hayden Survey, Vol. 

 VIII, 1883. On page 132, in transposing centimeters of the original tabu- 

 lated cross-section into feet and inches, the measurements were apparently 

 stated in inches and fractions thereof, but unfortunately the column was headed 

 in such a way as to indicate that the inches are feet and the fractions are inches, 

 thus greatly multiplying the thickness of strata.
