August 16, 1923 Thursday. St Armand - Phillipstury - Mystic, Quebec Started north into Canada to follow the Cambrian formation, went north along Rich River, North of the Broad. by about 1/2 mile or more where the road crosses Rich River there is a fall in Rock river. Here may be seen in Lot 123 of Elks only the Seagria slate, and beneath the fifth satellite. The contact is open an uneven formation we can't striking dips on either side. Rappaud calls it a north thrust, but to me it is now once an overthrust than the one seen last evening 1/2 miles south of the Broad. Another half mile to the N.W. are due Mallett not much quarry sheet. Here no contacts with Lami- formations could be seen. We see Mallett all along east of the Vermont Central railway to St. Armand. It makes primarily exposures in low hills. To the west, i.e., St. Armand lies, are all Beeldmantown. Between lies two land of the Champlain Plain, along it runs the railway. At the south end of the village of Phillipstury, the contact of Lower Beeldmantown on the 'Utica' - Cambrian may be seen. The dip of the former is 10 to N to S.E., while the chalk lies also beneath an much distorted and triturated, old times not quarry ruins, and it has.
