with the Beellmantown. These limy sandstones are near the base of the Benjia, other in the next field to the west we sees the thin redded limestone of the Highgate. At locality #4 near the Canadian border we got considerable material from the basal Benjia in Beellman town. At first Raymond was disposed to interpret the contact between the Benjia and Highgate li, as one of non thrusting, but clearly he cannot be so. Later on he admitted that. The contact is an angular one, but the highly folded nature of the Highgate li. and the Benjia was all produced at one time. There could on there have been mountain oralling at the close of the Cambrian. The Cambrian was partly scraped some at the close of this period, than eroded and finally overlapped by the Benjia in Beellman town time.
