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.
