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.
