Feet. Inches 



11. Greenish and reddish, coherent, micaceous sandstone and flags, 



with fossils (no. 1) 4 



12. Red, argillaceous shale, with coherent layers 22 



13. Red, somewhat coherent, massive, argillaceous rock 6 



14. Red, coherent flags, containing fish remains 11 6 



15. Red, argillaceous shale 5 



16. Greenish, calcareous flags, from which Doctor Ami collected many- 



fossil fish remains in 1897. The upper part contains broken 

 carbonized plants, fish, etcetera (no. 2) 2 



17. Red and green, somewhat massive, mottled, calcareous rocks, with 



nodular, rounded, and oval spots and fish remains, dip 230 de- 

 grees angle 29 degrees on fine long faces 7 



18. Red, argillaceous shale, with layers of more coherent concretion- 



ary flags 5 



19. Red, micaceous flags 1 6 



20. Red, somewhat crumbly, argillaceeus shale, forming fine ledges 



in the brook 2 



21. Red, argillaceous shale, with layers of fine, more coherent flags. 14 6 



22. Greenish, flinty, argillaceous, and siliceous flags, micaceous and 



sometimes spotted with red, containing much carbonaceous 



matter and cut by veins of quartz (no. 3) 3 



23. Greenish, coherent, massive, fine sandstone in two layers 4 



24. Red and greenish mottled shale, in regular layers, more massive 



toward the top, for the most part red 8 



25. Reddish, coherent flags and argillaceous shale 32 



26. Red, crumbly, argillaceous shale, not well seen 11 



27. Red, crumbly, argillaceous shale, with harder bands, not well 



seen 10 -0 



28. Red, argillaceous shale, with flaggy layers 17 



29. Red, argillaceous shale, not well seen 25 



30. Red, coherent, thick bedded sandstone, in two layers, at a small 



waterfall 6 



31. Red, coherent, argillaceous shale, with green layers and blotches. 5 



32. Measures not well seen, but evidently chiefly red 6 



33. Greenish, argillaceous shale at the mouth of a little brook from 



the w^estward (no. 4) ; from this the seeds and plants were ob- 

 tained by Doctor Ami in 1896. One coarse, rusty layer is full 

 of pyrites and plant remains 2 6 



34. Measures concealed, probably greenish shales cut by quartz veins 



and containing plants 3 



35. Greenish quartzite or fine sandstone, over which the little brook 



from the westward falls into the main stream at water level . . 3 



36. Gray and greenish and red coherent argillaceous rock in three 



layers 3 



37. Red, argillaceous shale, with coherent layers. The top comes to 



the foot of the falls in a gorge from which Mr Weston is sup- 

 posed to have obtained his fish remains (no, 5) 12 



38. Red, coherent, argillaceous shale, forming a little fall 15
