August 11-1921. Thursday.
Left St. Albans at 10.15 for the Parkers
farm quarry, then the Hurland farm, and
now the Montcalm farm. The latter purchased
the place last year and are French Canadians
from east of Ottawa. This farm is in the north-
north-western corner of the Milton Quadrangle, 2 miles
north 60 degrees west of Seneca Centre. The
largest slate quarry is back in the field near
a large elm tree in hard blue slates. Another
one is half way up the hillside near the road
and two other small slate quarries
are beside the road. In the latter we got three
backspuds (see list of faces end of this book).
in the others we saw nothing. The
slate bed has a considerable thickness, probably
so far can be seen but apparently there is much
more.
Above the slate come micaceous, thin-bedded
dolomite beneath the ^ that are more crumpled
than any of the other rocks. In these occur
may iron rock nodules = pure dolomite
