4th Resting non = conformably upon
this Kilbourn Sandstone + upon the quartzite
is a layer of Conglomerate consisting of
rounded masses + pebbles of the quartzite firmly
cemented by sand. Near the quartzite
the pebbles are large - often a foot or
more in diameter, but they become smaller
as the distance from the quartzite beds increases.
Much of the conglomerate is made up of
closely aggregated pebbles ; but the proportion
of pebbles to the sand diminishes as we leave
the quartzite until it gradually assumes the
character of sandstone above. The
occurrence of trilobites + brachiopods both in
the lower sandstone + in the conglomerate
show that they betong [belong] to the same
(Potsdam) age.

The pebbles [counts?] entirely of quartzite &
must have resulted from some geological aclion [action]
upon the islands of quartzite when it formed
the shore of the Potsdam Sea
