A short distance farther south, south of the home of Mill Roberts, there is a fault crossing the road, cutting clean the Black Shale on the north side. On is a live trace of shaly math rock which may be Devonian shale. Within a very short distance the old Cret Archard road is struck. From this old road eastward, there is a school house at the point where the Crab Archard road turns off sharply southward. Another road, or lane, passes down the gate at the school and follows down the creek eastward, cutting but Richmond seems far away this road. Going eastward down the creek in black loam strata, and just W of the bridge a little over a mile east of May wood, the blue clay above the Rich- mond is exposed with the Flat, under as of the upper Archim immediately beneath. The Richmont may be at least 8 ft above the creek East of the bridge. Fault runs N 40 E, On Nov 12th, fault is Richmond rock. On S side is apparently top of Archim with Flat under and with shale rock above. This is much to my former view as Leptana was found. On second examination I take it that the Archim here is now laid by shaly Richmont and is underlaid by shaly bed, Flat, underneath clay muds called Archim. No Leptana was seen. This locality is where roads fork, one mile direct East of May wood. South of locality 129, on top of hill, is the rock which I would rather classify like the Clinton. It possess that large exposure. So called Clinton = 77 ft above RR and same dis- tance above Maupville top suggesting that it's not Clinton.
