The dol. boulders of all sizes up to & feet long, angular or subangular. Between the layer beds are the thin bedded blue li. all cemented by dol. The material is either fine-grained. At the base some of the large blocks are stuck into 6 inches deep fine grained the top of the thin bedded blue li. we are probing into conglomerate. The blue thin-bedded li. looking across the river one sees two other layer holders up to 6 yards high. Heavy redded blue-grey dol. in 5 or 6 beds, 15 feet. Occasionally there is a coarse purdle of the bedded li. in places with much intruf cong, and some boulders up to 12mths across. Thin bedded dolomitic argil shale ad thaly beds with layered sandy beds. Some intraformational conglomerate, and one good block of dol. 5 feet thick and 10 feet long. The whole is in thickness from 12 to 15 feet, see beyond footnote. Heavy bedded arg. at top of cliff just north of the elec- tric power house. Looking across the river one sees this same deposit opposite the power house. It seems to be from 10 to 15 feet thick. This is the last of the Milton series, The comes in the Highgate series. See remarks further on. The section now takes up at (11) and goes on below into the upper Milton (also see July 6-1922). Finely black shale with thin sandy or intruf cong. 2 feet.
