  The 
  next 
  section 
  is 
  remarkable 
  for 
  the 
  fact 
  that 
  a 
  great 
  change 
  of 
  

   lithology 
  takes 
  place. 
  Instead 
  of 
  being 
  oolitic 
  marl 
  or 
  limestone 
  as 
  

   in 
  the 
  previous 
  sections, 
  the 
  Dispansam- 
  and 
  the 
  Siriatulum-he&s 
  

   are 
  now 
  yellow 
  and 
  grey 
  sands 
  with 
  bands 
  of 
  sandstone. 
  The 
  thick- 
  

   ness 
  of 
  the 
  sands 
  also 
  has 
  much 
  diminished 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  thickness 
  of 
  

   the 
  Dis/'cinsum- 
  and 
  Striatulum-be&s 
  is 
  much 
  increased, 
  simply 
  

   owing 
  to 
  the 
  prevalence 
  of 
  sandy 
  conditions.
