giant cryl parasite near the middle of the pasture
in the [illegible] cryl. Therefore the shales in situ
hereall are Highgate, and therefore are
kegia.
After lunch we examined the pasture with
care and tried to find top fossils, and when a few
more were seen, the very important one was found by Pride
in the shales just beneath the [illegible] cryl parasite
an Agrostium near pisiformis. Then I made
the sketch in page [1a] so that I may talk over
with him all the places he collected from. After
eceiving the whole interlap Hallid on the
sequence with Keith, and pointed out that the
fossils gotten by him here beneath the cryl parasite
are not Highgate, but Middle Cambrian. The
question now arises what to name this shale -
Milton or give it a new name = St. Albans.
Above the [illegible] cryl parasite lies the
Adam's Pasture,
and north Legside
Highgate shales, therefore the east end of the
pasture becomes more and more troubled, but
not lying as at Highgate Falls,
- not to be examined.
