Wednesday Sep. 13, 1934 Sutton Int. men is believed to be underlying again and under the Oak Hill area. See Da Clark's G.S.G. Japan of 1934, pages 9-11. The Sutton Int. man on its western side is believed to be of Canadian and probably older of Old relict formation. The probable thickness of the Sutton men above the Pre-Cambrian Old Ritz ashite is certain 2000' thick and may exceed 4000'. The laws of cleavage conditioned by intense metamorphism (droge beneath) or underthrusting (drag above of the Sutton floor) is the key to all these the structural conditions here. It is also after help, the minute internal structure may ex- plain the major structure. The day has been a wonderfully instruct- ive one, but in one it is fortunate to follow from the evidence of the area the actual structure as outlined by Clark. It all looks to me as if Clark has actually solved the Green Mountain problem.
