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.
