N.
slate dips E at len from 10° and further XX plunges
down the hill with a steeper dips to W. say from 10° to
finally 20° or even 30° S.W.
At the W going road and the highgate road there are no small
crevices. About 300' W into the highgate slate above described and
about 40' N of it makes a ridge here striking N.-S., across the E-W road.
125 yards W is another ridge with dir. dip, E. 20°. At
5 5/8 yards across in this crevasse (calculate in a depth of 20°).
Bore out it is slate that once after sixteen M.C. or L.C.
Then a little flat about 300' across to a level,
that is 25 x 8 yards across, what it lies in cannot readily.
The first ridge is not the L.C., though in this 300' may be
the Middle Cambrian but I doubt it.
Then the road crosses a wide flat without crevices and
then to XX comes in the X C. ridge of Donaldsons farm that
has two parts. See the diagram on opposite page and
read in the light of the contour map,
Dropped a little onto Donaldson leffe and put a few down
Cambrian fiss.
Then looked onto high ridge at the E declivity of the farm
and found a large extent of what appears to be the lower the
