From Sunday Corners School 1/4 mi N & then 1/4 mi N, where 820 line touches the road, west N near this limestone rises as high as 820 along the road. From Sunday Corners School 1/4 mi W & then 3/4 mi N, to road corner 813. Eastward road corner as far as creek and for several hundred feet beyond, tip of Monree is exposed. At about 820 the Clentaugy slumps up and forms the hill as far as 1/4 mi E of the road corner. About 3/8 mi E of road corner the tip of the Monree slumps up again, & nowhere near 830 and where the creek crosses the road 1/2 mi E of road corner, the Clentaugy comes in again at about 830. From corner 813 go 1/4 mi N. At road corner is Monree which shows up as mark at house nearly 1/4 mi E of corner. Directly east of house, at about 830 is lowest Clent augy seen which continues to where road turns N, after the road goes W for 1/2 mi the light and clear Black shale shows up at about 840. From corner 81B go 1/4 mi N, to road corner. From here we examine for 1/4 mi W. At this point the road corner is Monree tip. This Monree tip sizes irregularly northward for 1/2 mi, where the road turns W. Monree is seen past of road corner. The Clentaugy goes right in east of road when road turns NW. Next Monree occurs my house on east side of road and Glen tangy comes in NW of house and continues as far as road corner 875. This 2 miles of outcrops here and to and SE of Sunday Corners School suggests that Clentaugy rests upon very irregular Monree base, but it is possible that all the ridges here are irregularly contorted and folded. From C m an ays school 1/2 mi N to corner 782, then 3/4 mi E to where road turns off straight north. From this road, westward for a short distance tip of Monree is exposed. Further west, Black shale force shows up nearly 1/4 mi W of road junction, where 820 line then line reaches road from south, and this Black shale and underlying Clent augy are exposed northward as far as both creek crossings. A short dist since not I second creek crossing a sandstone like rock,
