Sunday August 14, 1932 Wea. THUR. MAY 27, 1909 Ther. I had trouble getting the made out but does not exceed 30°. Then came Parker slate for five telegraph files (=60'). With a dip in it of not more than 10° (has flattened down from 20°) at the top of which are somewhat interbedded ls and shale like the lower Highgate slates. East of this up from now a coarse felsol granite, I ls engl., made of white and pink ls one of which is coolidge. Where it belongs I do not think but maybe in the latter gran = ? Highgate. If this is Highgate it lies flatter than most of if with a dip of 10°. Three telegraph files are apart 130' Returning I see that the Parker slate comes (contact corners) above to Mallett and has the same rusty split as seen yesterday giving the impression if is a cyl. Then beneath the Mallett comes one regular thin Parker slate - we see about 30' of it, but there maybe more. The dip is very low not over 10° Then the transition Mallett into the Grimrossi. The Winona layer has almost the same thickness as seen around Mt. Airons. Returned by Bus Mary Swantm at 5:0 p.m.
