In the afternoon went to where the Highgate-
St Alban's road crosses the Hampstead Brook, thence
the east of the road one collected in Stovells locality
for fossils and got 3 or 4 trilobite heads. They may be
determinable. This is the Highgate slate.
Then went down the brook over the falls to
the lower flat level. Most of the distance down is
on the dip slope of the Highgate dark blue slates
and found them all crumbled. Finally to one surprise
found them on a lane by a thicket hidden very massive
dolomite. Keith thinks it is the Orilton thrust where
the Highgate
To the east of the road the slates dip to the S.E.
There is therefore an anticline here, and probably the one
seen under the Highgate Falls bridge.
Then went to Rockbridge to see the fine grey
limestone (Keelburn) lenticles. Finally about 1/2 mile
north to see the fine Orizontian conglomerate overlying
the Mallett dolomite.
A. Keith gave one a few Lingulellas
collected at locality C on maps.
