Middle Point.
Our third camp is beside a small horn about one mile east of
the old mining farm and about 50 Quarries. This the first camp yet
but we will leave it tomorrow.
Where the Chazy comes in it is overlain by the Windor
Shale or broken amyloante being present. Therefore the Chazy over-lies all the Ord. formations.
The horn bottom in which our camp is pitched also has Windsor in
it with sides of Chazy. Evidently the region is much faulted by small
shifts.
If for one day we have done in the south the relations of the Table
Head series to the Chazy, nor to the Cow Head amyloante. All contacts
are faulted. As the top of the Chazy is faulted we do not know its
entire thickness. Of the Table Head series we do not know its thickness
at all.
