It would appear that thegreater portion of the outlying eastern flank, in which a well-defined syn-clinal fold exists, also is occupied by beds of Jurassic age. But in theborder of this slope, in the area of the foreland bench, it may be possi-ble the sandstones and arenaceous shales of the Triassic red-bedseries make their appearance in the regular descending order of theirstratigraphic sequence, although their identity is open to question. From the summit the topographic and stratigraphic relations of thismountain ridge are well displayed. It is stratigraphically identical withthe high dominating ridge west of Station XXVI, and almost due nor
