He also inferred from the borings at Salina, Ellsworth and Russell, that the triangular form was continued in the subterranean development of the red-beds, and that Ellsworth was within, but near the apex of it. The main feature of the paper, in which its scientific bearing is of great importance, was the statement, also made in the lecture of the previous evening, that the saliferous shales and beds of rock salt which lie beneath the Triassic red-beds were continuous downward with them, and also were continued down without break into the Permo-Carboniferous formations. That is, that in southern Kansas-and presumably in the Indian country beyond-there is no break from Paleozoic to Mezozoic time. This is not abtolutely affirmed, but the writer believes that the great mass of the evidence so far tends that way. NOTE.-Just before this goes to press, the writer has made other observations in Kingman and Sumner counties, and finds outcrop of the red-beds six miles west of Wellington, and the proof more positive that they are continuous with the grayer shales below, and that these shales, extending to and beyond Wellington, all belong to the saliferous horizon.-R.
