the summit of the hill for tvvo or three miles, reaching beyond the 

 Connecticut. North of the village, it is S. 15° E. ; among the houses, 

 S. 41° E. ; and on the east side of the hill, S. 23°-25° E., in a valley 

 leading to Unity. On the south slope of Green mountain, east of the 

 village, are intersections of the almost east course with that of about 

 S. 12° E. On the westerly side of the top of Bible hill, the most com- 

 mon course is S. 6° E., with S. 25° E. This is a half mile east from 

 Brown's, Clark's, and Stone's, where the westerly course has been 

 noted. We now proceed three fourths of a mile northeast to the " Flat 

 Top," a spur of the hill, with scarcely any depression between. At the 

 commencement, where the northeast slope begins, are striae S. 57° E., 

 pointing back to Little Ascutney, and crossing others S. 1° W. Next 

 are some S. 46° E. pointing to Ascutney, apparently marked on the lee 

 side of striiB, pointing S. 1° "W". to S. 1° E. Another ledge has striae 

 S. 46° E. crossed by others S. 1° E. ; then S. 16° E. crossed by S. 41° 

 E., and S. 51° E.. the middle one the most common. Another ledge 

 shows, iu a narrow compass, the courses S. 21°, 36°, 41°, and 57° E. 

 Where the courses are so numerous, there is a marked tendency to ir- 

 regularity ; the striae do not preserve their parallelism. A change of 

 10° or 15° degrees in direction will occur in a distance of less than a 

 yard. Flat Top hill shows more of the irregularities than the highest 

 summit to the southwest. Near the aqueduct, at the base of Flat Top, 

 the course is S. 17° E.
