5. Limestone, very impure and containing immense numbers of a Spirifer of 
large size, very similar to Spirifera Verchéri, De Vernueil Pl. I. (fig. la. 1b. 4 ft. 
6. Limestone with a few fossils, .....cseeseeees sesatae teehee nO etbs 
7. Limestone, filled with Productus costatus (S. WwW) tien extremely depressed 
by pressure. Many other fossils associated with the Productus, such as Athyris 
Spirifera, and a species of Chonetes, &c. The limestone is arenaceous and mica- 
ceous, often so much so that it passes into a calcareous sandstone. This passes 
gradually into the next bed, the fossils becoming less frequent and the rock 
less sandy. 
8. Shaly limestone. The beds 7 and 8 are together about, ...... 60 ft. 
All these beds are evidently, from their fossils, members of the Zeeawan 
group. The series is continued by beds of the Weean limestone. 
9. Sandstone, grey, then pale brown, It contains lenticular beds of lime- 
stone. The bed is much disintegrated and overgrown with grass

A lacustrine deposit covers any further bed which may exist. 
The total thickness of this section is about 260 feet. The Zeeawan 
bed is nowhere so thick as it is here, being about 220 feet thick from 
stratum 1 to 8. 
The remainder of the section is Weean limestone, but only partially 
seen here. 
38. The end of the spur, immediatly north of Barus, presents also 
some Zeeawan limestone, but it was not examined. The two following 
spurs are entirely composed of volcanic ash and agglomerate. 
39. Then comes the long spur which ends in the somewhat 
detached hillock which I have called the Pampur knoll. We find 
in this spur the beds we have just seen above Barus, precisely in the 
same position and relation. The similarity is so complete that it is 
evident that the Barus beds once extended to the Pampur knoll with- 
out a break, but that a great portion o! this limestone has been 
denuded. 
The volcanic rocks, in the long spur, are well stratified and rather 
thin-bedded as they approach the limestone. They dip W. N. W. 
with an angle of about 45°. The Zeecawan bed rests on quartzite
