Schistosity is so thoroughly developed that it has destroyed in the rocks what joints there were. Even the limitations of dimensions and size the quartz veins are somewhat schistose. The foothills are pulled apart and the joints filled with calcite or quartz. It is in these narrow margins that one gets a few joints. A short day of crawling would probably yield a half dozen specimens, and these would determine the value. The joints are of good for time values. Mr. Drinmontan J Harvard was with us all day. He has an area 6 x 4 miles granted in for a disputation. He is after the structure and not the joints, [Comparing this valley with the Georgia one there are seen great differences in the sediment. Here quartzites prevail while that Georgia dolomites of several types and varieties are at hand along with a good development of conglomerate. In both areas, however, Late Cambrian bones occur.] August 6 1908.
