the lower *200 are gray and white, 600 are very dark - quite 
black indeed - in the upper part of these are the Baculit£ z 
beds in a harder seam of shaley sand-stone. From this to the 
top, the shales are quite homogenous in texture and are various 
shades of gray, in color. I discovered no coal, except just 
on the top of No. 1. Here there are 3 or 4 feet of coal shales

rises again to the surface and its outcrops may be seen quite 
high upon the Test and South faces of the mountains. It seems,
