Sep. 22 1974 [3] 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.
