We shall have therefore no difficulty in identifying this bed wher- 

 ever we meet it, as the Bryozoa make a great show and immediately 

 attract attention. The coarse granular limestone is unlike that of 

 the other beds we shall see hereafter ; the rich brown shales arc also 

 peculiar to the Zeeawan bed, and even the position close over the 

 glaring white quartzite would assist us, if necessary.
