In midces July 18-19 32 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.
