Of this group 35' are still shown in the P.R. out. July 6 - 1922 Dark blue banded slates with term gms of drl. (one bed: 10" and another 18") With estimates thickness as 215 feet. I could easily make out 150' but then higher all was much squeezed about. Farther down came in the banded li, 85 feet thick. It can be no doubt that the Milton lisses gradually and unbroken into the Highgate. Besides the fossils in both are very much alike and of Upper Cambrian time. On the road down to the Electric Power House may be seen about 20 feet of the laminated li, of the lower part of the Highgate. East of the Highgate Falls on the north side came in the eastern representatives of the Milton lisses seen on the western side of the anticline farther down stream, map station. One half mile east of Highgate Falls along the south line of the river and in the fields may be seen the banded slates of the Highgate. A little farther of stream appear twice thick till its the first one 18' across the other after a shale interval is either the same but appears to be thinner, about 12'
