We then went over one-half mile to locality
6 and got a lot of Lingulella like the one I
for last July in the Highgate in the village of
Highgate Centre. To the west occurs the Milton
slate, then at a small church hole the Lingulellas.
Further east is a ridge of Highgate limestones like those
studied Saturday half a mile south of the Canadian
border. These strata are here fearfully marked
and twisted so that Keill wants to call them
Breafia. To west they are all Highgate and this
formation continues to the east side of Rock River.
Less than one quarter mile further east occurs
the low ridge of Breafia slate with the Mohawkina
rocks.
All of the upper Ormilton seen in the gorge this
morning I should take out of the Ormilton and make a
new formation of it. It differs at once from the Ormilton
in being dominant limestone, and then tacked on, re-
senting in this the Highgate to which it is more
closely related than to the Ormilton. The thickness
of this new formation is about 110 feet thick.
