August 12-1921. Friday. It is raining a little this morning and we proceed out to our car until after dinner. At 1.30 P.M. we are off for Montpellier. At the falls of Brinashi river in Essex Junction there exposed much dark and light grey diorite. Ore unknown. An ore thurst is said to occur here, but a search for it failed to reveal it. Less than 2 miles east of Essex Junction appears a pegmatite -- a fist and fine emporment made up of quartz, feldspar, and some cord - thus is originally metamorphic. The alteration is least to the south and increases to the east. It is seen in for many miles, and even from some miles to the south out -- to about 2 [illegible] miles east of Bratbury. Towards the east it becomes much transformed into a schist. Then appear sericitic phyllite with zones of Haal phyllite. About 2 miles east of Bratbury occurs black phyllite of which I have a sample. All of these rocks are of Portuguese age. The Haal phyllite may belong to Ord. age.
