August 13 - 1921. Saturday Left Randolph at 9 A.M. and passed through Bethel, Royalton, Sharon, Deer Hill Pond, Hartford to White River Junction. Here at 1.00 P.M. took the train to Springfield, Mass., where changed cars for Deer Haven. Left here at 7.30 P.M. Two miles southeast of Randolph are entered a belt of highly metamorphosed shales with interbedded limestones. In these further north Richardson has found Ordovician fossils. Further east are the sericitic and hornblende schists described by him before. One-half mile south of Royalton are entered the belt of Patersonic gneisses metamorphosed to garnetiferous stromatic schists. Granite renews at Sharon, and at about one mile east appear phyllites of the Patersonian. Further north the renews are the way to the Connecticut River.
