Descending order. 

 (Beds vertical to horizontal). Thickness in feet. 



X. — Crush and fault. 



24.— Very white and felspathic, loose, rock, a mixture! 



of coarse quartz gravel and fine sand (some j. j25 

 of this quartz clear and transparent, rock- | 

 crystal): thickness to south from fault ...■-' 



23.— False bedded soft sandstones, grits, and gravels, ~| 

 the quartz more or less angular ; some runs 

 very coarse. So indefinitely and falsely bedded 

 that the strike is hardly determinable; the 

 beds are probably vertical, striking east and 

 west. In the first thirty feet of this there are 

 several dark and yellowish brown shaly and j- 

 crisp layers among fine pale fawn-colored 

 sands 



22. — Fine pale, soft sandstone 



2i._Ferrugiuous layer with lumps of hasmatite, wavy, 

 irregular ... 



20. — White and various-colored sandstones 



CDjp about 80° to N.). 

 19.— Sandstone beds more or less ferruginous, rough") 

 and gritty; honeycombed on weathered sur- 

 face. Among these some yellowish brown 

 flaggy shale with hard bands 

 (A slight disturbance in the section). 



18.— False bedded and finely laminated sandstone 

 shaly or flaggy, with (? worm) tracks, showing a 

 central line 



17.— Dark brown, purple, &c., gritty, ii-regalar sand- • 

 stone, with a run of coarse white pebbles of 

 quartz and dark quartzite, passing down into — 



16.— Dark gritty sandstone bed, full of annelid tubes, 

 mostly vertical, but indefinite, purplish in color. 

 Some of this rough-looking rock resembles 

 laterite in its weathered aspect. One bed 

 coarsely ripple-marked 



15.— Hard dark sandstone and ferruginous grit, irre- 

 gularly lumpy on the surface ... • • ■ J 



14.— Variegated soft sandstones, shaly below 



13.-— Dark, ferruginous, very coarse, gravelly band 

 (white quartz pebbles)
