In the afternoon walked north-east along the nine grade about 1 1/2 miles to the cement mills. Just opposite the mills there is a small brook with shale and fire exposure of the brick-red shales of the Richmond and a sharp contact of the "Clinton" alove. The red shales or Queenstown n exposed to about 60 feet above the nine or lake level and in the nature consists of brick red sandy shales distinctly bedded with but very few harder more sandy beds about one-miles thick in the uppermost 50ft. These red shales at irregular intervals have green or incl to more thick of green shale which become more abundant toward the top of the formation while the terminal 107 feet are entirely green shales. These joints are then green else due to percolating water and originally were brick-red also. In places near the top, the shales are seen like distinct sun cracked, the fissures very small and sandy one 3/8 inch wide, never any fossils of any kind.
