Sunday July 19 1932 Wea. SUN. APRIL 11, 1909 Ther. 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.
