varying from N 70 E to N 80 W.
Going westward to the Brad-
fordsville creek road, the north-
erly dip is still very distinct.
a short distance northward
along the road the dip rapidly
decreases, changing to two
southward. The general dip
all through this country
however is a fairly gentle
southerly dip. This can be
best seen by following the
main branch of Camp Creek,
from its junction with
the creek running past
Mudd's house, north ward
toward Sulphur Springs.
Every however to the very
marked southerly cup taking
the creek a quarter of a mile
south of Mudd's house, as just
described, the level of the De-
vrnian on the hill land south of
this creek is found about 170
feet above the level of the
Devonian on the branch just
north east of Mudd's house.
This is a dip of 170 feet to the
south in 24 mi.
Mudd's house is north of the
road branching off to Penwick, in
the valley. He expects to build S. anthill.

The folding seen in the Lower
Silurian in the creek is at least
in largest part, due to post De-
vonian folding.

a little over 3 miles south west
of Lebanon, on the road to New
Market, the top of the Coniferous
just below the Black shale, is
exposed on the hill top just as
the it begins to slope rapidly
southward. Its elevation is about
961 and the top of the Lower Silu-
rian must be at about 950, but
it is not exposed. On the cut away
there is a dip of at least 1 foot
in 30 in going down the hill,
or 67 feet in 660 yds, going
southward. Thence the dip is
more gentle south ward.

a quarter of a mile south west
of New Market a road leaves
the main road and after passing
a mill crosses Rolling Fork,
a quarter of a mile east of the
ford, before reaching the dam, the
Coniferous and Black shale are
exposed. The level of their junction
is 830 feet. The top of the Lower
Silurian is not seen = (820)
