Thursday August 31, 1933. Wea. FRI. OCT. 22, 1909 Ther. In front of house east of road down hill to farm is the Corlin empy. dipping E. at not 20-25? Part- ally a little roll in strata here immediate to W. It is then 250 yards W. to the first N.-S. ridge and the steep cretaceous dips of the same anticline pre- viously described. In this latter because the dis- tance is 290 yards, but this difference is taken up by the surface exposure of the Corlin empy. The above mentioned ridge is made up by a very sandy dol. almost agt. and other hard strata, The gt above is about 15' thick, and beneath it is a fine grained sandy slate or sandy dsl. at not 30'thick The easting dip of the slate in this ridge seems 100 E. while the cresting dip increases to 70 W. Then to W. follows a little smale or syn- cline rising into the second ridge seeming to N. of road. At the west is again Highgate slate. From the previous measurement (250 yards) it is 200 yards to W. and where we once found the barn-like fruit and for two whole Agrosters. This ridge is made up of a very sandy dsl. from 20-30'thick and in places it is an intraformational dol. empy. made of its own material. It dips 20 E.
