Little is known, however, of the sediments and microfossils of the clay-shales found in the Utatsuyama bed, and it is the chief aim of this study to elucidate these aspects. The Onma bed is composed of sand, mud, tuff and shale etc. The geological relation betweea the Utatsuyama and the Onma bed has been pointed out by a few geologists. According to their data, the latter is of marine origin in view of its fossil remains. The former, however, remains unexplained. The upper part of the Utatsuyama bed is characterized by gravels. But it also contains sand, mud and clay-shale here and there. The fact means that the geological structure of the bed is complicated. The mudstone of the Onma bed con-. exposed. by weathering.. tains many fossil diatoms which were carried by a sea-current, or deposited with other livings near the coast. For example, the Mitsukoji mudstone of the Onma bed found at the eastern outskirt of Kanazawa City contains many marine diatoms together with sponge spicules, Radiolaria and Silicofiagellata. Although the exposure of the Kayama clay-shale is limited to a small area, it contains many fossil diatoms deposited with other Algae and Fishes. Most of them belong to the fresh-water forms. The sediment, therefore, is of fresh-water origin. The Kayama clay-shale is unconformably covered by sand, and this sand again by gravel in the same way. Each boundary of these layers is complicated. Such clay-shale, mud and sand have been.

The most of the fossil diatoms which the writer found in the Kayama clayshale belong to the recent fresh-water forms. From this fact, it is concluded that the Kayama clay-shale was the sediment of a pond or a swamp or a small lake in the past. From this reason, it may be stated that some part of the Utatsuyama bed is of the freshwater deposit.. Outskirts. Diatoms. 99. Kayama. A list of diatoms showing the relative frequency of each species in the assemblage, provides a basis for determining such ecological conditions during deposition as fresh water, lacustrine, brackish estuary, shallow water marine, open sea, etc. According to my microscopical examination, it is found that the sample collected from the Kayama clay-shale, contains the following sixty-five species of.
