The sandstone immediately overlying it [[?]] at sink valley may be present as a ten foot band of light buff sandstone or solid layer or broken up in several thin layers all not three feet thick. a few yards away, [[vertically?]] absent is in the Kanab Valley side just below [[?]] old place.  The strata above are also very variable.  The coal seams are not at all persistent and the sandstone vary very much in thickness.
No 7 is a variable bed. The marls beneath are [[?]] persistent & uniform along long lines of outcrop. [[Frank?]] my [[peasant?]] [[?]] I should place all the marls in the
