Spent the afternoon in visiting the Hunnian quartzite monadnock about 9 miles south of Little Current. Going south after leaving the lake first me rises at once to the top of the Trenton and then there is a long flat land for several miles over the Gellingsford shales. Good exposures are now to be seen in the road gutters. The train rises on the road over the Eden shales and along the road side between 60 and 80 feet above the Gellingsford gets a small hill of quartz. The horizon is low Eden or somewhere about 100 feet above low water at cincinnati.
