Two globella of Paradoxides and a number of Ag- nostus, are there by now established the pre- sence of Middle Cambrian slate in place. Further east the land is low and we could see no further strata. I took away a few of slate having large crenated fossils. Mr S road to Ruff Brook In the afternoon morning on the same ^ but soon after getting on this Mr-S. Road went over on the Milton and soon came up on a cliff of the Olchester slate here very much twisted. Further west in (Mallett). Saw our fossils, although all of us looked for them. After going about 1 1/2 miles the Mallett crossed the road, and at the next south cross was the Olchester crossed it. It is well exposed on a cliff to the east of Ruff Brook, and although all of us searched long for fossils none were collected. Just east of these Olchester slates is a little of Milton dolomite, not half long than so far is shown, and it is related to the east by the St. Althons Middle C. slates. This greatly throws Milton Keith explains as due to stratigraphic over lap, the sea then coming in late.
