Tuesday, July 19, 1932 Wea. THUR. APRIL 29, 1909 Ther. Then tried to find the cgl. to equivalent of the Adam Postone mine, to the east of Ruffs Barril but found none. Saw several shale as before between apparently be on the High gate st. In looking south to Ruffs Brook saw no as before. Read Hornsells paper to see if he has such a cgl. as I have plot ted on my maps. Found another thunder zone (5'-6' thick) while hunting in the above cgl. It is primary in the High gate but may be in top St. Albans st. Parsons Gable. Looked in the Drakeott quarry at the base of the hill, and seen Carl. O. Dewar who had two fine specimens of Bathymatus histago. In the midst of the shale on the most overlying lie occurs two pygord layers, that weather a rusty yellow. The lower one is fifty long and about four feet thick. The higher one is also about 50' long but in 8' thick. Both levels are well up in the Parsons shale not more than 30' beneath the capping Middle bedded dol. Compare with Drakeotts octini, it was blue- grey dol, creating whiteish.
