Wea. TUES. APRIL 13, 1909 Ther.
Stiffed as the first [illegible] place to N. of
Miles Corners. Where it is made up mainly by the Mis-
sisquari thin bedded ls and dol jctrs with large masses
of Keelwams ls, sandy clt like taken below and
other lluis. It dips down 20° E.
Beneath is orange very sandy pgs dsl. from
20' to 30' thick. In place it is much crinoid [illegible]
and quartz.
Below the dol is slate, very irregular bedded, al-
most b[illegible], with lime sand grain. In place area-
tion messy, maybe Highgate or ?Eelchaston. The proto-
rhabid is like the dsl. in a lense at top Highgate
and that the slate below is Highgate. The latter veins
mainly because so much Highgate occurs here and
can be traced continuously to High gate gorge.
The dsl also has angular pieces of a much-
finer grained sandy clt in it. These are scattered
irregular through the dol, and in size up to 10" long.
The ls agls is not more than 40' thick, say from
30'-40' thick. Drayton took along a very large thin
slab to show the character of these ls agls. to his
students.
