Fic. 1.—View of face of Trench A, showing Argillite 
specimen (see middle right-hand specimen in Fig. 3, 
Professor Hollick’s paper) resting in place, 20 inches 
down, in the yellow sand at base of the rule. The 
trowel scratch marks the position of the film of strati- 
fication just above the specimen. The lower scratches 
mark the thickening of these films at the base of the 
yellow sand. From surface to trowel, Layer 1 (In- 
dian), ten inches to one foot. From trowel to series 
of scratches, Layer 2, yellow sand, relic bearing, 
eighteen inches to two feet. Below scratches coarse 
sand and gravel, non-relic bearing. Specimen photo-
