Westward of section. 



To the westward of this line of section, within a mile, the faulting 

 and slipping- seem even greater, giving the ap- 

 pearance of an enormous thickness of the purple 

 sandstone. The red gypseous band marked in the section continues for 

 some distance along a curving line, and appears discordant to the bedding, 

 as if filling a reversed line of fault or fissure in the western part of the 

 course. (See figure 26, Plate XVIII.) 



Further still to the westward (fig. 26) at the head of a deep narrow 

 glen opening to the south, the section seems more 

 normal as to thickness, and the gypseous dark 

 coaly shales are seen beneath the limestone escarpment of the plateau. 



Gypseous band. 



Dandot coal. 



Near the head of this ravine, a narrow neck of limestone connects 

 that of the plateau with its lower continuation 

 westward, and upon both sides of this neck the 

 coal-shales are exposed. At the southern locality, they are more than
