To the NE of the Penobscot comes in a hight metamorphosed series in which no bedding can be seen at all. Have two pieces of it. It's a mica schist and quartzite series some ten mile or more across. They begin at about China Lake in Passadumkeag, see map of Maine for delimitation. To the WSW of the metam. series comes in a thick series of shaley sandstone or sandy shale. I exceedingly fine grain and repetitive small flecks of mica that appears to me to be of sedimentary origin. These fan out from here into the Boar'sville slate and then redded li, The li. series occurs WSW in the Boar'sville area, about mile to the east of the Kennebec and about four miles to the west of Oakland. They strike to the SSW to west of Augusta. About eleven o'clock started out to see the rocks. About 2 miles south on the east side of the Kennebec visited a place where limestone was once burned, and recently Mr. Holman (State Geologist) explained for two because of a 3/4" drill here cutting the li. It is a series of impure even redded li in thin beds up to 2 inches thick some to 7 inches, interbedded with sandy shale. I few lesser amounts average strike N. 35 E., dips nearly vertical. Not a trace of fossil could be seen, and while the beds are consistent
