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'
