A fine bright but drawn morning, but seen off to make the traverse R. about 1/2 mile S of Highgate.
All in Champlain sand and clay to near Henrypat Brook where the land has risen some on the level of Highgate. To the north and south and W. down to brook then an fine displays the nearly vertical ochreous high-gate slate. A little south is the road metal quarry in the thin red beds of the Lorn Highgate. Once south is a massive dolerite as we saw at the tip of the Missisquoi.
Then in front of the house once massive interp. cpl. and shale, further south is the thick zone of the Mill River cpl. It extends south of the house and forms just oriented and in both sides of the road. In the distance of a quarter mile one passes through the two beds of the Missisquoi and partly some of it is on the Highgate proper.
The dip of the Mill River cpl. is very low, less than 10° N.E. Of merely limited to not more 25°, the rest is small pieces of the Lenticles and of the slothy Missisquoi. In general it cannot be told apart from the Bancroft cpl. but approaching it from the N. one sees for its portion that it trends up on to the Lorn Highgate and the top of the Missisquoi. Still further south to W. a small area is much massive dol.
and to the S. of it is a small area of Highgate slate. This
