35 feet thick. Of course there is more limestone down
in the cut but this all that one could successfully mea-
sure. In this thickness there are about 2833 traps
by actual count. In other ones there are about
81 to each foot. Some of the traps are 1/2, 1, 2 inches
dep. One dolomite grain is 4 1/2 inches across un-
tended. There are 660 traps above the dolomite and
the rest are below it.
Then going to Daniel Dr. Russell lodges. Here
on the eastern side
is a small quarry for slaty dolomite for road metal.
There are two Russell lodges on either side of the
road. In the quarry the top are dolomite embo-
domed in thick beds. These are the base of the
Bilton. Below are slaty dolomites in beds from 1/2
inch to 1 inch, and at the top of these are many
minute hashiforms of Linnarsonella and two
other inarticulates. See the list of specimens.
This place is 1 1/4 mile north, 10 degrees east of
Highgate Center. The reign is in the top of the
Ordovician, and is now the top of the Lower
Cambrian. The valley is of Ordovician shales and limestone,
with the finding of these fossils which may be
Ordovician reality 2 or miles east of Highgate.
