One full mile overlying the beds of dolomite. Forms are in the Beekmantown until 1200 feet above this contact. Whether these are the = of Brainerd - Kelep A and B is unknown, One half mile north of Phillipsburg there is a large marble quarry in the Lower Beekmantown. About 30 feet of this down is here shown, and are a whitish mottled limestone. Have taken four samples. Logan gives this same as 100 feet. There are about 200 feet more of Beekmantown. Going north from St. Germain to Bedford one remains in the western and but little disturbed southern sheet of the Beekmantown. The dips are always low, from 10 to 45 depths. About 2 miles north of St. Germain got some overlying dipping Beekmantown = Carolina Rafinesque just before getting into Bedford the beds limestone steepers almost to vertical, and when get to the first houses one are in dark blue shale with an occasional carboniferous limestone. In Bedford at the falls of the "Pike" river there much shale that looks like the familiar Hight- gate slate. 20 min stream a short distance may be seen a limestone conglomerate. The pieces are flat as a rule and may well have come from the Upper Milton. Evidently then the Champlain fault of Keith passes through the western side of Bedford. Everywhere to the north and east the outcropping are of shale. There are in Logan section zone D and C2 = 2970 feet thick
