Pg. 1045, 1047-1049, 1055. Hungerford formation. Chiefly blue-black to gray well-banded slates with local lentils of sandy dolomites also many white limestone bioherms. Hungerford beds formerly considered same as Highgate formation. Near Highgate Center, the name, Russell slate, is abandoned and beds are named Hungerford. Maximum thickness about 700 feet. Disconformably underlies Rockledge breccia (new) or Georgia formation; overlies Mill River breccia, St. Albans slate, or Parker slate. [Age is Middle Cambrian.]
Type area: where Hungerford Brook crosses Highgate Road, about 1.25 mi south of Highgate, Franklin Co., northwestern VT. Thick sections also found west of Georgia Center and in Milton Twp.

Pg. 523 (table 1), 532 (fig. 5), 547-548, pl. 1. Hungerford slate of Woods Corner group. Schuchert (1937) misinterpreted structures at type locality and believed that Hungerford slate lay below Rockledge conglomerate. Detailed mapping has proved that Rockledge plunges northward under slate at Hungerford Brook and that Hungerford slate is younger than Rockledge conglomerate. Because of this misinterpretation of stratigraphic position of Hungerford, Schuchert and subsequent workers have referred to Hungerford slate all beds now designated as Skeels Corners slate. Ruedemann (1947) referred to this formation as Russell slate. Consists almost entirely of black slate, commonly in beds 2 to 10 mm thick, alternating with beds of fine-grained white sandstone, commonly less than 3 mm thick. Thickness about 400 feet at type locality; about 200 feet at international boundary. Underlies Gorge formation. Gradationally overlies Rockledge conglomerate; overlies Skeels Corners slate where Rockledge is absent. Is uppermost formation in Wood Corners group (new). Age is Middle Cambrian.
