38 On the west side of the road bra, where
the road begins to rise again. Between
a ledge on the west side of the road
and a little shed on the right side
is an outcrop, almost concealed
by the road dust.
Strike Magnetic N 22 to 25 E dip 80N,
it will be noticed that this strike
and dip correspond much better
to a continuation of the contact
line between the Archaean and
the Cambrian from locality 32
to a point just west of the road
or mines; than to a bend of the
contact line along the road in
ward curve as suggested by the
published geological map of the
state.
The exposures here are chiefly black
ish shale, with a little massive
limestone on the east, but under-
neathly blue Cambrian limestone.
Plenty of limestones lie west of this ex-
posure on the R.R. tracks. The contact
line lies therefore east of here.
