10. White quartzite. 
9. Shales. 
8. Limestone with big markings. 
7. Quartzite. 
6. Dolomitic band with bivalves. 
5. Sandy dolomites with Bhynchonella nianiensis. 
4. Brown quartzite. 
3. Megalodon Umestone. 
2. Limestones with shaly partings, containing Spiriferina Griesbachi, 
I. Monotis shales. 
As a rule three different layers of quartzite can be distinguished, 
separated from each other in the lower part of the series by limestones, 
but towards the top by black, shaly beds. The system varies some- 
what, but it will suffice to mention the sequence, as observed near 
Lilang by A. v. KrafEt, which is as follows (in descending order) : — 
6. Great thickness of black and grey dolomitic limestones. 
5. Thick brown quartzite. 
4. Black, sandy shales, with Aulacothyris joharensis Bittii., 
alternating with thin, brown quartzite layers : 100 feet. 
3. Thin band of white quartzite. 
2. Dark grey hard limestone with Spiriferina Griesbachi Bittn. 
and Lima serraticosta Bittn. : about 200 feet. 
1. Brown quartzite : about 20 feet. 
Faunistically the quartzite series is distinguished by the presence 
of Sfirvjera maniensis KrafFt, which is restricted to this stratigraphical
