here a kmr we gtr a numbr of tilitit, and finally got a fair Paradoxide platella. Had come upon other fragmnts of the same tilinite. Therefore the slate in St Albans = Middle Cambria. Farther over than about so fts of Milton drlomite & sandy del, with one quartzite bed. Beneath the Milton is foggy sandy slate in layered str. Some of it in current ruffled. Keith says it is unmistakably Caledonian. In the afternoon went north to Wheels Corners and then over a further hundred fts, looked north and west of the Graniton conglomerate. Beneath it there is a well exposed series of well bandul dark blue High- gate slate. Prindle got five sheets of Ptychoaspis and that was all the fossils we saw in it. These were fairly common. Beneath these banded slates are other dark slates, not so fine grained but we saw no fossils in it, or in them here a linstone conglomerate to separate the two masses of slate. The thickness here is just half one-third that seen further south.
