Cafe Dudley Diggs and surround-
ing region. Gentle slopes wh form
the mountain mass above the shore
cliffs are covered with angular loose
fragments of the country rock. Rare-
ly does a bit of ledge project thro'
this coating - the angular blocks
are of all sizes. They speak eloquent-
of the effects of the extensive and prac-
tically continuous frost work that
has broken up the rocks. It seems
probable that the prevailing winds
across these ridges are Easterly,
coming from the ice cap - The
sandy or rather gravelly detritus
is arranged in long windrows
which extend irregularly in
a general north-south direction.
Apparently the fine material has
been blown out from among
the coarse blocks and assembled
itself in these windrows - The
rock is all quartzite? & it dips N.W.
or west of north. Old intrusive, and
show in the cliff section of the
quartzite also gneiss (81.549) no bottom
in later one third.
