It is not certain that which is in error in
saying here an enigma here, making the
"Milton dol." having Wellburyian forms. How
he came to make this error is hard to say. I
cannot see the points.
It is now certain that this "Orleton" is of
Upper Cambrian age (= Lower Ordovician).
And which other points he got there.
He did not visit his loc 4, in acc-
cord with the section.
After one rain and a halt, we motored
to Milton to see what Keith originally called
Orleton dol. Longwell says he now places
the dol. in the Escotian sequence equivalent to
the Rutland dol. He looked at it as Milton
and found it a much marked and metamor-
phosed dol., unlike any other dol. in the Central
Sequence.
It is now clear that Keith is much excited
about Orleton, and that there Orleton S.W. of Orleton
are Upper Cambrian, and the equivalent of the Mille
river formation leads dol., q.t. and the Shetland dol.
dol. beneath the Metro.
