Monday August 28 - 1933 Wea. Mon. Sept. 20, 1909 Ther. About 10' higher in the St. Albans than a local drl. coyl. with burls up to 74" across. The basal Ruff Brook drl. is either a straight drl. or it is locally coyl. and then typical Ruff Brook. Always a very sandy drl. and may have qt. layers as at one described. Under- neath in the regulating Parker slate. The Ruff Brook was interrupted appearance and always occurs in local accumulations. There occur N. of the road to our the St. Albans back of Rich Ridge. Here at one the Miss Rita Hannell also found the horn-like pics. Here the Ruff Brook drl. is not so coyl. and is 45-60" across the gentle dip in the iron. In place the basal one foot of the drl. is in thin layers and shows where the slathy pieces in the Ruff Brook coyl. comes from. Beneath Parker and at one is St. Albans. At one 1/2 mile N. of limit loc. the St. Albam in a gneiss at one which has burls of the L.C. to three or up to 10 inches across. Have two samples.
