Near Belford or in the grounds of the U.S. Hospital for consumption soldiers (it is here that Prof. Goodrich sends his students to work out the succession) there is granite exposed. On it follows the Cambrian, succession then a fresh an androca, then shale, followed by sandstones and conglomerates. All within a thickness of 200 feet. All of these are highly schistose with the schistosity nearly parallel while the bedding is at low angles.
