the canyon for use in notes. 
Localities 160-165 Coasl Range collection. These are all near together 
on the north side of De los Reyes canyon, about 1,800 feel northeasl of 
the mouth.

Localities 170 and 171 C. R. are about one and two-thirds miles up

Just north of De los Reyes canyon is another canyon ex- 
tending likewise in an easterly to westerly direction. This 
joins San Carlos creek at a point about 1,600 feet north of the 
mouth of De los Reyes creek.

About one and a half miles northeasl of the NCw [dria P. 
<)., and about 3,500 feet west of San Carlos creek, is a bed id' 
dark flinty shale in the Tejon formation. This weathers to 
a hull' color, it contains abundant fish scales and spines, and 
one nearly perfect lisli aboul three or four inches long was 
obtained. This is now in the collection of the State Univer- 
sity at Berkeley, Cal. Dark shales, not so much hardened as 
ut the above locality, occur along San Carlos creek fart her to 
the north, also containing abundant fish scales. None of 
these fish beds have as vet been investigated.
