Saturday August 13-1932 Wea. FRI. MAY 21, 1909 Ther. St. Albans Reef. At the south end of the village much of the Phillipbiny series is at the surface and well exposed. A light blue ls dipping E. 20 degrees. It's about with arlonite layers 25' lower to the lake level in which one sees no outcrops. The Phillipbiny is exposed in two terraces, and here also it is schistose and somewhat metamorphosed. In to the east Then comes a high wall (30'-50') of the even bedded Drinowski dipping E about 90. It has now the same thin- nen as seen in Thursday further north. Finally at the E. comes in a zone about 25' of Mallett, then about 25' but now zone of Drinowski, and then another zone of transition Drinowski-Mallett. Then once typical Mallett. This Drinowski-Mallett series has about the same thickness as the Drinowski jasper. Further east is a long exposure of Parker shale with a low dip (and more than 10') that takes one to near the Ruff Brook road where the upper dolomite of the Parker comes in. This Parker jibary has the thickness seen at Park- ers Falls, namely 200' according to Halbert. The basal 25' or so of the Parker is a mas- course bands dire shale peculiar to its own most locali- zations that are rather wet and clear lites suggesting a cgl. which it is not. Or this
