St. Albans, Sunday, Sep. 23-1928 It is raining this morning, and we are kept at the Tabern. In taking over the section of G. Mt. with Keith he is thinking of changing some of the formation names. Coldwater at the type loc. is without fossils and now he might use Parker from Parkers Coffee the local name for the prominent high knoll known to the neighborhood. Here is where Bal-cott got his famous Parkers Quarry Lower Cambrian fossils. Swanton cmyl. was taken from Swanton township and was once much used for Swanton marble; also there is more than one cmyl. in the township, though he now prefers to call it Skeels from Skeels Corner. This cwm road lies in the mid-length of two cmyls. at the base of the Benjia slate = Badmountain. High pate sk is to be restricted to the top. C. th that in flower must be 1000 feet thick. It has no do, all the rounded slates. Tates it was down to the base of the great conglomerate.
