"To the east of St. Albans are the high cliffs of Porters
grace, tremendous weathered fronts of the Potugonic sheet.
It was a very hot sultry day and neither I nor had
much energy to put into the drill and study.
At 5 P. M. we went up for tea night at The Tannum
where I stopped last year with Keith.
Ludlow, Vermont, Wednesday Sep 4-29
A dense fog morning, sultry and hot. We leave St
Albans at 8:15 and start S to see the high ls engl. terrmids
S of St Albans. At the face along the outer side above the
slates lie sandy cross-bedded normal grainy dolomite like
sometimes that one fairly regular bedded. They have in them
fair scattered pieces of dolomite and terraces the tips to ones.
Against this S's lies a very large mass of white mg ls, and
it looks like it lying on the slate as a residual. It is 20 ft
across and about 10 feet high. Over the tops of the W end ls
masses lie the regulatious ls engl. like the ones seem fortuity
to the north, and the dip is to the east. This engl. mass
appears to lie on the high slate slates, and it has of 10 white
ls blocks up to 7 feet across. At the SE end lies another
large mass that maybe a residual hill, it is at least 15 x
10 feet across and appears to lie on the High slate slate.
Large pieces of the usual sandy dol occur as hills in the
typical ls engl. Finally at the SE end we see the dark hue
& this weathering hue or yellow only lying the engl. Evident
the residual ls ridges over the cliff falls against which
the den formed filling of local sand banks and healing
up the ls and furnishing more kinds of ls to form the cast.
