"at least 45 degrees to the N.E. making the northern limit of a syncline. just note if the bridge over the first estuary. The second ridge is apparently all lias clay, and dips to the N.E. at probably 35 or more degrees. It soon rises to a steeper dip. North of it are the regular red shales of the lillies series I judge it is 300 feet across with the dip 50 to 60 degrees. Of hundred feet thick, then being bedded greenish quartzite and red sandstone gones. These red gores have layers replete with field spar in pieces up to 1/4 inch, making up nearly 20% of the material there is also considerable of siliceous mica. The dip is distinct to the north east at about 45 degrees. Then another shale gone clean comes to the north (it is a facsimile the same one see before) One cannot say that they appear to lie at the crest of a low anticline. To the north is the fourth great ridge which apparently the previous shale gone in it. Then another after ridge are estuary and the another high ridge going to the south - the fifth one. There is still another ridge to the N.E., All seem to be a gap. The tip of the previous anticline sometimes very gently pleases, almost critically on the north side and on the other side the estuary (about 450 feet across) rises just as quickly into an anticline, making the fourth ridge. It appears to be two sides"
