ii PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. [Feb. 1895, 



outline of a thin-shelled echinoid is traceable on the broken surface 

 of one small block. The abundant greyish-white laminae under the 

 microscope look like a minutely quasi-areolar tissue. This may 

 be mylonized organic structure — of echinoderms, or polyzoans, or 

 calciferous algae. There are darker lenticules of possibly some 

 fragments of a limestone different from the enclosing mass. Also 

 small specks of calcite and some grains of quartz.
