Tuesday, July 19, 1932 Wea. Sun. April 25, 1909 Ther. Chert stopped at the Colechestr sk place not faris on the St Albans Bay road out. We to Colechestr sk with him dcl. here is certainly 20' of massive grey dcl. The Lower saw a pink flaccid sk bridging the long bedded dol. It is three tenths fa mile back to the Adams Pasture ls cpl. As the massive bedded dcl, dips 11° S.E. and the Adams Pasture cpl 9° to averaged. A 70° to flying out the Thichorn. The distance is 1585' at 10°. Thickner of Adams sk is 274 feet. Going south on the road to Mill Rim we saw much of the upper Colechestr sandy dcl in man in her like those mentioned above, here they come cliffs up to 30' thick. Here the lower 1d or so have much eroded sand and the whole creation down into an ochronus stained sand the dcl having been dissol out out. Beneath are in the regularized Colechestr shale with nodular layers spots that weathering into ochronous jowders. But I could not find any fossils. These shales are richer in mica, the gresm layer and more imppecious than in the Adams sks where there sees vertical cliffs of thin sk about 50' high. On my way I called these Challutt and then changed it to Orellin.
