Just at the N.W. of the Minisquari ****** Staradbridge manure River (Miss. River) we find exposure of the Phillipsburg blue-white marble dipping E. about 25 degrees. The line is angled for high. I saw the same marble at the N. Minisquinibridge in Swanton where all the trails are and the dams run the falls. South E of the River the banks are made of the Devonian; and grey east of the old damm trail one has a good display of the Devonian dipping E at 20 to 25 degrees. This cap.
