Annual report . ut an inch in thickness; (2) The map shows, at the northeastcorner of the lake, near Deer bay, a bed of blue limestone lying in the Hastings grey-wacke. The relation of this limestone bed to adjacent rocks is not clear. It may beinterbedded with the greywacke, which seems the most obvious explanation; or, it maybe a long ridge of the Grenville basement on which the Hastings greywacke was depo-sisted; or, it may be a slice of the Grenville limestone faulted against the greywacke;(3) A band of yellowish brown limestone 15 inches wide appears to be interstratifiedwith the conglome Stock Photo

Wide shelf, wide and thick sedimentary basin, e.g. eastern North America, North-west Europe. (b) 1. Flexured type. No significant sedimentation, e.g. Provence (at Nice, no shelf at all). 2. Flexured type with narrow shelf and sediinentary wedge. Intermediate between (a) and (bl). Probable examples, West and South Africa, (c) 1. Faulted type.

It is the writers conclusion thatthe provinces of Code and Veraguas were mostly land areas in Eocenetime. The deposition of the late Eocene seems to coincide with thedying phases of a vulcanism of which the greates^^-aetivity of theperiod was in Darien Province around the head of San Miguel Bay.Practically all the Eocene is of shallow water deposition.
