ward. About half a mile
from the bend the Black
Slale rests on the Coniferi
rous at 1110. The Conifermus
is a very dark grey blue
rock, like the lower part of
the Coniferous in Duffins
cut. Two feet 4 in are ex-
pred but it is evident
that 5 feet of Coniferums
are spitted here. The
Clinton rests on 7 1/2
feet of Ozgood clayey
shale, and this in turn in
the Clinton. The Clinton is
quite thide but it was not
measured.

Half a mile i actward
on the Cox & ap road,
up a creek, the Black'
Shale rests on the dark
brown brecciated Conif-
crus at 1050. The Ch-
iferous is 11 1/2 feet thick.

the Clorster but I did not
determine its age. The
possibility of it being San
rel limestone should be
kept in mind. A con-siderable thickness of
Osgood clay & shale is
found beneath and is
exposed in the road going
Eastward up the hill to
the creek. It may be 35-
to 40 feet thicker. The
Clinton is found in the
creek bed exactly at the road
crossings.
- Notice 8 1/2 ft Clinton at 17
Possibly same " at 18
Possibly little more" at 19
Not more than 10 ft " at 20
15 ft Clinton at 22
With thicker

23 to 25 feet at 25
The Cast is its regular thick-
ness, unaffected by erosion.
- At 23 are 7 1/2 feet of Osgood
At 24 are 35 to 40 in. "
And possibly same Sandel
at 25 about the same.
