August 11, 1953 St. Albans.
Saturday
Drove just to near St. Albans Bay and here to my
surprise came to [illegible] a great deal of twisted marble that must
be Bedlamite.
Drove fine examples of dolomite beds
carefully fragmented and dragged by the flying marble.
Then returned back across the Champlain flats to the
fair hill's escarpment to the north of the St. Albans Bay
and going a kind of road.
Gradually we again saw the Bedlamite marble,
then a round area of flat or more like the Drinows
no contact between Bedlamite and Drinows in view.
The marble is present in full face. We then walled across
three ridges of it when it gradually gave way to
the Mallett. Near the base of the Mallett occurs
a 30 foot zone (or thicker) of sandy dolomite conglomerate.
The blocks are up to 3 feet across, angular and dis-
posed in one direction, and rather scattered in the
Mallett sandy dolomite.
At the road south to Rug's Creek there is Mallett
with some clay, and again further south of this road
where the Mallett comes up. It is here a dark blue coarse
sandy dol. A little further east occurs Celestine
Shale. This must be the place
