No. 18.- Exactly opposite last (east side). Conditions nearly the same 
but cut lower & talus below. 
At the north end of this cut on the east side of the road, the Archean 
rises 8 feet above the road bed and ends abruptly very soon, the exact 
form being obscured by recent debris. 
It appears to dip rapidly to the south and pass below the Potomac, 
which occupies all the rest of the cut. The conclusion is that it forms an 
anticline & that there was a valley to the south of this point which was 
filled up in Potomac time.
