Then tells there that are just more of Lrockfort without the hut and that evening do not go with the Rochester. He has at Barton beds in the fields that I collected with Grant one gives up are 1/2 miles west of Bentworth street inclined railway. The best Barton locality where 30 feet of beds can be seen near Mount Albion which is 6 miles south east of Hamilton. This is also on the edge of the gneiss. The Barton beds consists of thin bedded limestone with shale or iron clay beds and bituminous arms partings. There is no chalk in these beds. Drudging there are heavy bedded crystalline dolomites.
