"4. These large flatish masses of paptolitic forms shale are in a general way oriented so their bedding corresponds with that of the Cuyll Series; all dip to the northeast, mostly at angles between 30 and 35 degrees, but not all agree in the latter respect, some being nearly flat, while others dip 70 degrees; some strike 30 N. by East and others as much as 400 south of east. "5. For the east half of the head no small masses of the chalcedony were seen associated with the large ores but for a distance north of the Chylographte mass (which is known in the series) smaller masses of zinc sizes were mixed up in the Cuyll ore. "6. On the south side of the head nothing but Reedman's turn could be seen while on the northwest side there were many masses of thin handed Upper Cambrian li, forming "bottles" in the Cuyll and ranging in size up to 200 feet long, and on this side no Reedman's turn shale could be seen. "7. No traces of either Chazy or Tarkio Head formations were found in the Cuyll Series."
