If the Black Cope rocks near Mr. Richmond bear out this idea then should be interesting devlopments there. It is said to have a long section from Silurian into Devonian and this seems the true so far as I could see for the strata when we came up to Barre. Of the Barre ad Pierce anticlines the latter is certainly the greater elevation in bringing to the surface the considerable elevation a part mass of Ordovician rocks. Then again the great crushing and faulting bears out this view. It seems to have suffered more erosion than the Barre anticline join to the Bonaventure formation as the ridge today and its part mass of Bon- aventure rocks is no higher than the Barre
