WED. APRIL 7, 1909 North of Burlington VT. July 17-1932 Sunday. Began collecting at Whisks Loc. 3 four and a half miles N. and Bown began to see what looked like Trilobites. Then Langrell called my attention up high on the hill where he had a layer of blue sandy dol astate with Lingulepis acumi nata like. Saw nothing else. The strata are thick bedded Hurst - gray dol, and when we Lingulelles occurred in my Sandy dol. The strata dip S.W. 28°, with the strike N. 30 W. Farther up on the top of the little hills to same looking dol. Dip slightly cast. Did not see the contact when the dip changes. It was happening within 15 feet and is either a sharp fuckle or a fault. Farther east on the continuation, duffy strata than one thick group of a white quartzite, and breccia with blocks up to 28" and angular. This an intraformational conglomerate over the pieces, agt. and dol. bedded in the dol. No one saw any other fossils. The Lingulepis layer maybe 6" or more thick. Thick and appears to be the same species or common in the Brown Highgate. It showed me us at 10-12 o'clock.
