on the hillside and tanked. Evidently the slope
of the strata is south or southeastward.
As we proceed west I see (Damborne?)
goes interbedded in light green shales.
The dips here are but slightly
off the horizontal. If roads seem due

all is one rock exposure.
To the east and west of Tesmes are fine
exposures. Here the outcrops rise up
to 1000 feet above the Railway. In places the

Damborne predominates here, though I can appear
to me shale also. All appears to me
conformable series, and as one's want get
