This bed,like another near by in the samebluff, is of small lateral extent, yetit is well interstratified with same series of strata is well exposed near Newport, where thegrade is cut through the hill toward Nye Beach. The cliff exposesabout 80 feet of strata, in which sand prevails, but layers of gravelare common toward the top. Near the base the beds are finer andsome of the layers contain considerable vegetal matter, among whichare numerous cones. These have been examined by Mr. Knowlton,17 GEOL. pt i 31 Fig. 13.—Section of Nye Beach Cliff. 1, Soil 18inches; 2, Sand, yellow and gray, 6 ft.; 3,Gravel, 5 ft.; 4.
