It is our custom that the L.C. slate
follow directly the dolomite series.
The succession is thus: Permian
and quartzite, Brinrock Marble, the first
dolomite [illegible], the local conglomerate,
and then the thick slate series (3000 ±). This
makes at least 5600 feet of Lower Cambrian
are Upper Cambrian.
Stopping one night at St. Altaus, at
the American House.
[In 1923 Keith published a paper]
saying that the St Altaus conglomerate me
= Parotgian and hence all of the Beqjin
slates are Parotgian. Therefore if the
above only 2600 feet in Lower Cambrian
and the 3700 feet of Beqjin slate an
earlier Ordovician = Ogardian of
Keith.
[The field work of 1922 showed that the
Milton dol. is Upper Cambrian, and that the Brinton
Cong. is local Ordovician. The Ogardian lies
below the Lowerm conglomerate.]
