[Note by Blodgett: This report by C.L. Rowett (prepared by J.T. Dutro, Jr.)

This report covers the 8 collections that contain corals from these three shipments. The Early Permian age assignment given by fusulinids and brachiopods, is substantiated. Rowett suggests that the collections with Sinopora and Tachylasma (USGS 23557-PC and 23564-PC) may be early Leonard.

The float specimen from Wiley Creek (USGS 23554-PC) is a Lithostrotion (Siphonodendron which, according to Rowett, is confined to the Carboniferous. It will be sent to A.K. Armstrong for examination.

The collections are being retained.
