0004a [[left margin-Strike & dip on ls bed (2') N51[symbol for degrees]W 46 " " nne A considerable distance NE on the beach, is a bed of ls. about 2 ' thick called bed 15 (as near as I can make out) for which no list of fossils is given. The bed is crowded with R. stewarti & S. [[concinnus?]]. For 25 paces S W on the beach from this bed (toward brook) R. stewarti occurs (this I call R. stewarti zone.) From contact of bed 7 and Barberie Dacite it is 97 paces on or about 243'. According to the book (Howard) there are 180' between the hard ls & the contact. I fail to see the usefulness of beds listed by Howard as it is nearly impossible to identify them. I saw no R. stewarti in the bed 11.but they were abundant in beds 12 sub 2 [[?]]-15. It seems to me it would be better to call the section by the name of zones. Bed 0- coarse arenaceous shales N55 [[degrees] W 50 [[degrees] NE.
