Friday Sep. 2 - 1932 Wea. WED. AUG. 11, 1909 Ther. 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
